Information

"What a pretty picture! Too bad about your Nymphaea timing… some big red leaves would have been nice." ---Jeff Kropp

"A beautiful environment. That red lotus is going to be perfect." ---Wim van Drongelen

"The foto's show discus which are not mentioned in the text. Be aware of digging of Discus, Cory's and Botia in the Elatine field. " ---Pim Wilhelm

"Just beautiful! Lovely form and vibrant growth. The Rotala stand could be improved by trimming it so that it is a little more shapely, and not lying across the water surface, but this is a very minor complaint!" ---Karen Randall
