I do not have very many aroids in this setup. There is one Cryptocoryne in the underwater area.

The emergent foliage includes mostly small aquatic stem plants. I also have a couple of Cyperus umbrella sedges that are looking very nice. The most interesting plant specimen is the Cyrtosperma johnstonii that I am using as a centerpiece. It looks very healthy, but thankfully it is growing rather slowly. It is currently about nine inches tall. http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/6-i-09-cyrtosperma-johnstonii-ii-m.jpg I am quite impressed by the patternation on the undersides of the leaves. http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/6-i-09-cyrtosperma-johnstonii-iii-m.jpg I like the fish a lot too. In addition to the Synodontis lucipinnis catfish--I don't have any good pictures of these yet--there is a single Cryptoheros cichlid... +More http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/31-xii-09-cryptoheros-cutteri-i-m.jpg ...and a group of five livebearers, Ilyodon furcidens (Goodeidae). http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/31-xii-09-ilyodon-furcidens-i-m.jpg _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
