January 25, 200521 yr comment_36957 Has anyone had any experience of this plant? I've only had it a short time and, apart from one tallish bit, the rest seems to be staying at 2-3 inches high. The taller bit is probably about 5 inches high. It spreads like crazy in the tank and I am wondering whether to keep in in check or to let it go wild in there. How much danger is there of it choking out all the other plants if I do that? Larger image here http://photobucket.com/albums/v474/jude ... tarria.jpg Cheers Jude Report
January 25, 200521 yr comment_36958 Just let it go Jude. Cut off any bits that grow where you don't want them. Report
January 25, 200521 yr Author comment_36965 cool, thats what I want to do, trouble is I am already pulling out lots of it - can see it becoming a daily job. LOL - I know I wanted a heavily planted tank and I expected to have to trim and maintain it ............... but daily weeding? Still, it grows well and looks nice and at least I don't have to go out in the rain Cheers Jude Report

January 25, 200521 yr Author comment_37009 OK, I'm happy to give some to all of you. I might consider selling it later but for people in the forums I would rather donate it ................... I "wouldn't be where I am today" if people hadn't done that for me. It might take a few weeks but I will give ballistic some first, billaney next - perhaps next week or the week after, and then I can send some to vjarn. PM me with your address please vjarn It will probably be in 3-4 weeks but the way it is growing it might be earlier Cheers Jude :lol: Report

January 27, 200521 yr comment_37374 Hi Jude Is the plant that is spreading the one I send you? If so, it is Echinodorus quardrostatus and it will form a carpet of 100mm to 150mm all over the tank. Perhaps I should have told you that? ej Report
