Thanks!

I would be interested in the following if still available: hygrophila polysperma microsword Rotala rotundifolia "colorata" or rotala rotundifolia Limpholia aromatica

sure, put me on the list. thanks!

Is this still available?

I would say "YES!". But in my case, I have playsand which offers almost no grip to stem plants in the first place, so... That is part of the reason I want new substrate, so that it can hold in the stem plants better. I have no problems with loaches and heavy rooters like crypts and swords.

Oh, and I think that you would need only one loach and a huge snail population. The loaches just don't seem to stop eating them at all. They just keep going like the Energizer bunny. I got hundreds of them from my LFS, and I only had 1 clown loach, and the next morning there were less than 5...

I don't know - I had a clown loach, 3 yoyo's, and a burmese border loach all in a 75g with no non-food related agression. Nor did I see any inflicted wounds on any of my fish...but they clicked their barbs a lot when they found an algae wafer! I do have 2 blueberry botias in with my cichlids...

Yeah, I really wish I could keep them alive, but I have 3 yoyo loaches in there, and they devour the little guys.

oh, yeah - I like that stuff...hmmm - decisions, decisions! Thanks!

BrianNY: yeah, I am sure that the "substrate" is not the answer to my problems with my plants. For sure the lights are ooollllddddd. I need to change these bulbs, but my reef keeps sucking the life out of my wallet! I have 260w over a 75g, so I am rounded out at 3.5wpg. I have been injecting...

yeah, what he said! :D Oh, and you too Roka!

stupid back button - I just erased my entire message... :( Long story short, my wife and I like the dark substrate better, and I want something that will grip the plants a little better. The stem plants always seem to uproot. That's why I really only have crypts and swords. Plus, the...

Well, that really depends on the term overloaded... 2 boesemani's rainbows 1 madagascar rainbow 2 goyder river rainbows 1 turquoise rainbow 1 irian jaya rainbow 1 regal rainbow 6 skirt tetras 1 hatchet 2 bn plecos 3 yoyo loaches 5 panda corys 1 rosy barb 5-6 harlequin rasboras I think that...
