pm travis. i believe he has some.

It seems that it grows wild in your area.. in Mud flats or floating in the shallow waters of lakes and ponds and they are rare and scattered.. If you live in Wisconsin that species is of concern for being possibly endangered, so I wouldnt be collecting it in that area of the country.. Im sure before collecting checking with the proper authorities would be prudent such as the department of natural resources of your state.. HTH

Here's what my tank looked like a few weeks ago before I trimmed my E. triandra. It's sort of slow to get started but, once it does, look out. It grows faster than Glosso

i pm'd ya travis, you are my hero and i've been idolizing your tank, that's why i wanted that e.triandra

oh yes, if you don't mind travis, what type of fish do you have in there. I got a friend who also saw your tank and was wondering what type of cichlids and other fish you have in there.
