Hi all,
Ruki wrote "Darrel, maybe you can ID my magnolia by only seeing leaves in tank". Definitely not M. salicifolia (wrong shape) and too big for M. kobus "stellata", so either M. acuminata (drooping white flower with red centre), or possibly M. x soulangeana (pink or white "candles" in the spring, opening into cupped flowers).

cheers Darrel

I agree with Darrel - it is very likely M. x soulangeana.
It is also magnolia that I have in my yard.

@ Ruki - very beautifull fish! (now I can see photos)

Hi Łukasz your wild A. cacatuoides & the male A. agassizii are beautiful. Do you know the rivers and the area where they come from?

A. agassizii, if I'm not mistaken were catch in Rio Tigre.
A, cacatuoides were ordered as A. juruensis, I don't know anything more.:frown:

Thanks. :redface:
Now I'm trying to breed A. mendezi. for now unsuccessfully but I won't give up. :biggrin:

hi Ruki, you've got quite many nice fish. The aggie is beautiful. Mendezi should not be difficult to breed :)

hello Lukasz,

Your dwarf are beautiful and well maintained :).

I have a doubt with magnolio's leaves. I have in my garden a magnolio. These leaves are valids?

Hi all,
These are the leaves of Magnolia grandiflora an evergreen from the S. USA. The leaves that Lukasz has been using are from a deciduous Magnolia, possibly M. x soulangeana.

We don't know if your Magnolia leaves are fish safe or not yet, although I'm aiming to do some tests on them this year. If you can get Cork Oak (Quercus suber) or Camellia? leaves these will do.

cheers Darrel

Hi,

I thought that these leaves (M. grandiflora) were fish safe...:(. I'm confused, I thought Lukas was talking about them.

I'll wait until Lukasz tell me what to do.

Thank you :)
