Re: [Killietalk] Looking for Najas guadalupensis now soft water plants

["David sanchez" <barbax66 at peoplepc_com>]

Ken thanks for the input my problem is I have a well with very soft acidic
water (5.5 pH, less then 60 us/cm, 0 KH, 0 DH) and most plants wither in it.
I use Anubias, Javamoss,  water sprite and Riccia for most of my tanks but
Najas will grow in my soft acidic water and will allow me to breed some more
species using the natural method. BTW thanks for the tip on the bulk heads!
big help buddy

Dave
