- i used to have a carpet with this plant. check the first page of this thread for my old tank photo. UG... huh, IME and personal view... it;s not a hard plant to at all and in fact, after that tank, i SERIOUSLY dont want to have it anymore in any of my tank. hahahahahah!!!! it's a PITA-type plant. it even refuse to go away and keep growing even there's just one little small leaf left in my tank floating, it'll grow into a floating bush if wasnt taken out. basically IME, it will just grow no matter where u plant it (tie like moss, foreground, or even floating on the surface).
