| My pleco seems to be fairly well behaved, it's those gourami's that are the diggers in my plant tank. One of these days I need to move them. |

| lol i remember when i just started a planted tank and it was one of my first plants.. I was so HAPPY to see a simple leaf give off roots and then turn into a whole plant (later tree) Plant is nice but very hard to work with |

| I do amazingly good with regular old house plants and I grow all sorts of stuff to feed the torts, but except for things that are weeds, mint and hygro other plants are a complete pain in the balls to keep growing. Still want to get merimo balls tho.  |

| I tried java moss and that stuff went all brown and gross in a few weeks. Tho the chunk I had was in bad shape to start with. I'm thinking of stopping at what used to be Big Al's by me and see what plants they now. |
