Awesome Plant

It says it doesn't get any bigger than 12", but I suspect that's in a high light tank:

In my low light 1.9wpg tank it was about 4" from the top before the fish ate it. Tank is 24" tall so the plant was 20".

right now its about 15" tall, if not a bit more. We'll just have to see how it does...i have bloodfins right now so hopefully they wont eat it. I have problems with fish/snails eating plants and i get angry :rant: ...but i'll try to get some pics...its not very red yet, but it does have a few red leaves
 
Heh. I just removed what was left -- the roots! -- from my Silver Dollar tank and am going to put it in my grow-out tank and see if it will revive. I think it will. It's rather expensive to just throw in the trash.

They also trashed my melons, which they "say" herbivores aren't supposed to eat :)
