Hi
I've heard wonderful things about ancharis, such as "it's a miracle plant!" "you could grow it in a bottle!" "toughest thing on the face of the eartH" and other exuberant exclamations about the ease at which one would care for it.
so of course, i had to get my hands on it. I planted it in my uuber planted tank (which has everything a planted tank could need), and watched it grow...brown. Within a week, almost all my anarchis looked like brown slime.
Skip back five or six years. I had bought anacharis for my first fishtank, and it did the same thing only slower. Every single time i bought it, it rotted then died.
So now, I had to throw away 10$ of slimy, dead anacharis. woohooo. Toughest plant every.
Out of curiosity I left one slimy gross brown thing in my tank, and miraculously, it started to grow again.
So know i am totally confused. It died in a tank that was practically built for it, but grew back from death.
Mabye i'm just so totally uncool in my planted tanks department that i kill off plants with stunning ease. But then again, i put plants that were much less hardy in the tank and they did fine. Something with my water parameters?
Anacharis: Hard miracle plant or wimpy wimp wimp? Or in between? Please share your thoughts.
