As a beginner aquariums I informed myself in advance as to which claims the plants and even the grid plants are not suitable really for beginners because their claims but are very large. Since I however find very pretty, I wanted to try it anyway and held me closely to the recommendations that I found on the Internet: Middle pelvic area, mean temperature, purified and filtered water, extra CO2 supply, central supply of light and so on.
Although the long-awaited plant was well packed, but was not really green, but rather brownish-green. Because as I said a beginner am / was, but I thought that was determined by the delivery came and the plant would recover quickly. So I planted it and wait ...
The brownish appearing leaves rotted sometime off completely and removed from me to make a new dedem growing green leaf precedence. But then the plant began to wither away ... I do not know what it was, because I believe that the conditions were in my pelvis ideal. Maybe the pool was too small or the plant from the very beginning not really "healthy" (after all she was more brown than green, when she arrived with me) ??
Anyway, I can recommend the grid plant very experienced aquarists, for beginners it is (even if it really an eye-catcher), is absolutely unsuitable.
