  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The Cyrtosperma johnstonii plant is still doing well. There are several new little suckers growing around the base.

I plan to get some new plants started with those.
 
I took the Cyrtosperma johnstonii outside for a shot in the sunlight. This new leaf has more of the gold and pink.

This is a great plant, and pretty easy to grow in a riparium provided that you can give it some vertical space.
 
Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I'm not really maintaining this setup as a display at the moment. I chopped up a lot of the plants to get more propagation material and now I am using the whole tank to grow out more new stuff. I hope to start to rebuild a real layout again with all new plants, but it's going to be a few weeks.
 
Glad you thinking of a new project, not happy it will be a few weeks.

Can't wait to see what you come up with this time.

With the new propagation you have been doing, is it possible to get a few pics of how you are doing it and how young plants are floated and rotted.

Thanks and hurry up with the new project.

These little juvenile cats were expertly packed. I highly recommend this seller.

who was the seller?
 
Where is the new full tank shot?
 
I got the syns through an Aquariacentral.com sales thread. I would have to go look for the seller name, but I do remember they were in a Chicago suburb somewhere.

Sorry I won't have any new FTS any time soon. I have been using this tank for plant growout. The fish and plants are still happy, but the tank is a real mess.
