When the Lotus arrived at me I thought once, "Wow, is but small." After a few days he was visibly larger but already and grew with me up to a decent size zoom. Eventually, the Lotus was probably my gourami in the way (or he was just too tasty?), Definitely has my gourami made on the plant here and it was difficult to grow. After about 4 months of war with the Fafi has the Lotus now finally given up and is dead. Too bad, but there may be the Lotus nothing for. Without thread fish in the aquarium, I would buy it to me definitely be back!
