    No problem ;) Updates? One borellii female died two weeks ago. And about Vallisneria, it grows in the mix of gravel and sand.

    South American Biotope (Planning)

    I use ordinary garden peat with pH - 3,5 and no fertilizers. Tropical pH test 4,5-9,5 and Zoolek GH/KH test. It works fine with tea colored water.

    I forgot to add that you must wrap neck of the bottle with mosquito net/stocking or something like that. ;)

    South American Biotope (Planning)

    I do not know how much it will help, but I use a "peat cannon". It's very simple. You must cut off the bottom of the 2 litres bottle (you can use something bigger) and fill it with a peat. Then pour water to it. The parameters of this "tea" are: pH - 4,5 GH - 0 KH - 0

    Vallisneria grows very slowly and i don't know why. I've got Vallisneria in the other tank with the same water parameters (soft water) and it grows like a weed. I think it's because of substrate. It might grows better in the sand. And borelli it's a harem, 1+2 ;)
