I'm so excited! It looks like my aponogeton crispus is going to flower. I'm trying to upload a photo but the app won't let me at the moment so I'll try later.
Wondering if I should I remove the glass lid over the top of it? Its about 1inch from the water surface and the water is about 1-1.5 inches from the glass.
 
Oh yeah aponegeton class is kinda underrated. I still keep thinking you coulda bent that flower back into the water before it bloomed and had another crispus plant in a couple of weeks. Aponegeton was my first aquarium plant that started my intrigue.
 
Haha is it expensive?? I would love
To have one!!!!! Is it medium high or low light?

I don't know why they are awesome plants! So pretty and easy to grow.

I have mine in low light. Cost me about $7AU I think.

I think the Aussie dollar is about the same as the US dollar. But I've noticed things that are cheep there can be expensive here and vice versa.

Yeah I did. Ordered some plants and a couple of fish from a site in Aus. Never going to order from them again though. Messed up half my order. Half the plants arrived mostly dead and lost all the fish within a week.
