Re: Utricularia aurea (anyone keep this)
I have U. Gibba that are flowering now, yes I think they like cool water is they only seem to be happy now that it's rainy season. I also have U Vulgaris which looks similar to U. Aurea becoming many as well. Yes I agree that not so many seem to be keeping aquatic Utricularias. Maybe there are more who are aquarist (aquatic plant enthusiasts) that keep them, but maybe they don't end up in forums for CPs... maybe.
Aldrovanda is slightly more difficult to keep, however now I have put my U. Vulgaris with some Aldrovanda.
I do not "feed" them, but I do sometimes put some live daphnia in the ponds and containers. Also I sometimes sprinkle some fish food (very finely crushed) over some, but do not overfeed, and I don't really recommend that you do it, just mentioning that I sometimes do, but it is mostly food for the yamato shrimps in the pond.
