Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've got a soft spot for parva. If you're gonna try it, I'd recommend starting with a bunch - it's one of the slowest-growing plants I've had the pleasure of dealing with.

Yeah, some plants just attach way faster than others.

You can definitely plant them in the substrate as long as the rhizome is above. I personally prefer to tie them to something for better stability, though.

The fish came with the tank, I'm assuming it's new as well. Either way, the tank's nowhere near big enough for those frontosas, let alone the pleco.

For terrestrial Crinum, what type are you referring to - clipped, hob, wood, etc?
