Finally my Red Mangrove shoots are growing!
The one with small leaves stands in the vase with fresh aquariumwater,
and the bigger one roots in a 18g with my African Giant Fan Shrimps
(Atya Gabonensis), and Gold Spotted Shrimps. Also fresh water.
I had about 8 sprouts, but my Pacu ate some and some died of being
moved too much.
These ones I handeled with extra care, and I almost never moved them.
See the big one has a big new leaf bud.

My only fear is that I placed the Atyas with the plants, cause they
can dig em out if they feel like it. Hm.
But Im very happy with my Mangrove sprouts on fresh water.
Its a sunny, hot place where I hope they'll thrive.
