I still like this rosette plant, and still don't know what it is. Seems to be doing well, whereas the dwarf sword I moved, isn't.
Here's another thing I moved- a new crypt moehlmanii shoot. It was growing out to the right of the thicket
I pulled it out very carefully, exposing the runner all the way to the parent crypt, shifted it to the opposite side (left, where it is now) and reburied the roots and runner.
Madagascar lace plant continues to wow me. It has several more new leaves- the youngest is paler.
One blue buce is flowering.
I found some of the crypt parva were getting overshadowed a lot by crypt becketti, so I shifted them all into a front corner-
Moved the severum out of the regular QT into his own little container. The festivums were really starting to harass him, I saw one tug at his tail, and the largest (Foxface) chased him away from all the food. I moved him into 8 gal bin with small heater, sponge filter, etc.
He showed a white spot on the tail- fungus? or just injury? so I hope will benefit from some daily small partial wc. I found a buyer for him, but have to get him healed up.
Hard to get a photo now because the bin sides are semi-opaque, and he hides a lot- nervous being by himself I bet- but here's a few from when I had netted him out of the first QT.
Minor split in the caudal fin-
In my 55, I'm eagerly watching growth on my aponogeton capuronii, and wishing the younger shoots of crypt balansae would grow faster. Feeling iffy about the crypt retrospiralis, and have decided I'm not really fond of the corkscrew vals. The leopard vals are so much more vigorous, and I do like how straight and tall they get. I think I would rather have more crypts, with their slightly thicker leaves, in those planter baskets. Maybe aponogeton crispus again (how I miss that plant) or even some kind of long-leaved sword. . .
