Hygrophila Difformis (Water Wisteria)
It's growing slower than in a high light, CO2 injected tank. It looks vibrant and compact though. I thought that in a low light environment, this will grow more upwards but it doesn't look like it. The biggest stem is propagating horizontally and new roots are growing.
the other 2 stems remained small. I'm not sure if the big one is keeping the these two from growing.
More leaves and stems. I started replanting some of them on the soil pot where monte carlo was planted before.
The plant looks so healthy showing it really thrives in a low-tech tank.
New addition to the tank. This is said to be one of the most difficult stem plants to care for so I don't expect much from it in a low-tech tank. More stems were planted in the high-tech tank though.
I got 2 of these tetras and 2 yamato shrimps from another hobbyist that is giving up this livestock. Unfortunately the shrimps jumped out of the tank on their first night. I found one of them and got it back in the tank but the other one was never to be found.
Both continue to grow. The bacopa stems in the soil pot started growing new stems.
Brazilian pennywort has new leaves as well.
I noticed that they are being eaten by the large siamese algae eaters so I move the 3 fishes on the high-tech tank. These plants are growing slowly and nicely though.
The ones in the driftwood has gone through trimming.
There are new leaves but the growth is way more slower than java moss. I'm not surprised as this type of moss is a slow grower and without high lighting, CO2, and at 30-32C, this is expected to even grow slower. The next few months will be colder here in Singapore (25-32C) so that's a good thing.
