 The Mayaca is the only plant in my 500 liter tank that is not thriving!  I
have 6 or 8 SAEs (6-9cm). I was thinking it was a plant competition thing,
but now you have me wondering. I will have to start watching my SAEs more
carefully. There is hardly any algae... I guess they are looking for a
suitable substitute.
