I read a thread a few days ago about java ferns and how they grow...I had no idea they sprouted underneath their leaves! I usually give mine a good visual check over at least 1-2x a week to check on root growth because I just recently (with in the last 2 weeks or so) added them to my tank. Well to my surprise one of them has growths started! I must be easily amused because I was so excited over the discovery..it totally made my day. Also, one of my Black skirt tetra had a tail injury when I bought him from the LFS and as of this week he is almost completely healed..you can barely tell him apart from the rest of the Black skirts. It may seem a little silly to those of you with a few years of aquarium keeping under your belts but I just had to share..Added with the fact that my order of new plants shipped today and are finally on their way, It's been a pretty good week here so far!
