How to get nurii rosen to grow in blackwater

[Conort2]

So I located the following blackwater plants and will try them in my next 29 (which is being setup for true a. lineta):
c. willisii
c. undulatus (red)
c. ferruginea sekaduensis (not sure i will like this one)
c. yujii
-
Unfortunately this going to cause a naming problem since my Blutkehl pictures are label lineta in all my files so i'll have to figure that one out; it is just that lineta is so much easier to type than Blutehl 😉

Good luck with the Lineata, had to be one of the best fish I’ve kept. The male was stunning.

I've always struggled with Nurii in soft water tanks, but in harder tap water tanks it grows like a weed!

Crypts I've had no issues growing softer water are Beckettii 'petchii', Spiralis tiger and red and X purpure. Some of them take a long time to get started, but are fine once they're going.

I have 'petchii' but it was too new to make a statement and yes spiralis tiger red is growing quite well without co2 or strong light. Never heard of X purpure - if that is purpurea it is described as some sort of hybrid.

When i receive the 4 i did order i'll take a picture label the aquarium and post it and then in 4 to 8 months repeat to see how they do 😉

This closely related species was sold to me as a. lineata (not the ones that will arrive in a few weeks - fingers crossed nothing goes wrong); i really like this fish but it is colourless at least in my environment. It also has a good personality - it doesn't run and hide like my a. wolli but it also doesn't beg and expect me to drop food in its mouth like a. winekelfleck i have:

I have 4 weeks old frys right now i'm raising though it is early to know if they will make it all the way.

For historical reasons you should indicate what type of tap water you have for example I have kh 3 gh 6 and yes it grows well enough to post these but not as well with co2.

but the problem with saying it grows well in tap water is if a person has tap water that is exceptionally soft like those lucky folks in portland oregon it might not grow as well.
