Richard blessed with a consignment of Aldrovanda at the end of May 2008. Thanks again Richard. Included some pictures below. Not very well taken though. Nothing in June because I was more attached to my baby than to visit my little pond- which is at my parent's house.
This is how it initially arrived in, Sandwiched between wet kitchen towers. Yes the black stuff is decomposing plants.
Took this picture a week later. What's left is just a short tip about an inch and a half.
The growing tank. 2' by 4' in open sun with other plants as neighbours. Water has been prepared about a month before and the other plants about planted a week before. Also threw a couple of gourami, SAE in to control algae and mosquito larvae.
This is recent photo.
The colony
Now some closeup.
Measurements
Didn't have any instrument off hand so I estimated this strand to be about 7 inches. The longest in the tank.
That's all for now folks. Thanks for your attention.
