[APD] Re: Nesaea "red"
>So what's up with my Nesea? Any suggestions?
>// Daniel.
Daniel, I've yet to have seen any nice looking Red Nesea that someone has kept and maintained for a 2 year peroid in a tank submersed underwater. The leaves had zero algae epiphytes when I got some from Asia. This means that it's emgrent grown. People do okay with it for a time, but I think it's just not really too happy about being submersed and it's certainly not something worth going to all the trouble to keep.
Contrasted to both forms of Tonia, I would say this plant is much more difficult.
Why bother when there's 2-300 species of plants out there?
This plant is on my crap list.
I have not "really tried" but I've done enough to see if it's a decent plant for planted aquariums or not.
Try giving it all the room it needs, light etc, Try a mud cube under the substrate where it's at(You can vacuum it out later if it doesn't help).
Beyond that and the water column, there's not much else ..........besides emergent growth.
Regards,
Tom Barr

I have 20 KGs of potting soil in my 90 Glls planted tank . Actually I struggle a lot to find one without additives or fertilizers just to found out the one that I bought released quite a few phosphates in the water which is giving me a hard time with algae. Unfortunately, It was to latte when I learn that actually Ms Walstad recommend Miracle growth. potting soil .
I will experiment in the near future with organic potting soil and will post my finding in this forum.
I would like to recommend one of her articles posted in the wet Thumb Community for those interested in the other side of the fence of low tech / maintaines planted tanks

I interchanged a few private msg with someone in this forum who lives in Japan.
But a failed to keep your email address. I recall that you ask me about livers in Mexico.
I want you to tell you that I meet a guy who is an expert in Central American / Guatemalan (close enough) fresh water fish.
Please e-mail me and I will give you some information.
