Swords going mad.
Bought some extra ozelot varieties, see if I can grow them to this size too.
Lets hope Mr Day gets going on his 2700L so I can dump a massive trim on him 😀
These swords dont fit in a "regular" sized tank.

It’s been trying from day one. Been clipping it.
This time I’m letting them go wild!

Hopefully by that time I will have the red and green ozelot varieties grown out for you!

Just wonder how they manage not to have the leaves dry pout.😵

I guess it depends on the spp. and do a lot of trimming, eventualy all leaves dry out than cut them away at the plant base.
At least that what i always did with my Kleiner Bär growing that big.. Always took a few weeks for an older leave to start drying at the tips. Enough new ones to cut older ones away and still look rather compact.
At this time i'm growing a echinodorus palaefolius var. latifolius emersed and eventualy all old leaves that came from the greenhous climate dried out.
Now it is comming back with new leaves that seem to be much more hardy and stay rather healthy in living room climate. A matter of addaption i guess.
Also the E. Regine Hildbrandt cultivar is a darn hardy Echinodorus have growing 3 plants emersed and it seems to be very happy, a perfect window sil Echinodorus.. 🙂
My best guess the one in the picture is aslo a E. palaefolius or maybe an E. cordifolius..

Also, Ive noticed baby-juvie bronze cories under the pogostemon. They've been at it again...

Just went through this thread for the first time; your Beast is spectacular! Great fishkeeping and plant growing! I also love your philosophy of lots of small life to be discovered when you're looking closely at the tank.

Hi all,
cheers Darrel
If the growing tips were as pale as it looks in the photo? It might be that the plants were <"suffering from iron deficiency"> and that made them more attractive to the SAE.

The white tips are just a photo artifact due to strong lights, they are lush green in fact.
That said, I did have a ferts hiccup a month or so ago, which made some pogos go white, but sorted since.
They appear to be munching on all of my pogo indiscriminately.
Planning on moving some to the 200L.
I get the feeling that they are actually going for algea, but breaking pogos leaves inadvertantly. Its a very crunchy plant, if they really fancied it, it would be gone!
Thanks for reading
Fil
