Kimimaro_kun, usermode:
Confirm with the seller if the plants are grown in submerge first before buying.
I brought downoi from him before and it melts right after i plant. Luckily it splits 2 branches out and that 2 babies growing very very tall like coconut tree (about 6inch when i tak tahan and cut it down last week)  sweat.gif

i believe what sisaiko means by sucker plant is a temporary plant to suck-up nutrients during initial stage of planting.

meaning it growth better than other plant?

can you do renovation (knocking and drilling walls, removing floor ties) at living room while your family is watching tv?

you can do it without removing plants,
but fishes will die if you left them like that.

i believe if your filter is mature and working, (meaning ald cycled before) you can add fish straight into it... correct me if im wrong...

i'm not completely remove all the fauna when i'm adding the soil. left out the ghost shrimp and 1 feeder fish. so far, no casualty yet. is that mean i can add the fauna??

bought otto yesterday, rm2.50 each.
