has anyone had any luck with blyxa japonica?

ive had some for about 2ish months now and i havnt seen any new growth?

i have DIY Co2 and use plant food aswell, unsure about my lighting per gallon but i have 12 inch glowlux and a 12 inch power glow, i only hvae a 10 gallon tank but its tall, 14 inchs.

any help is greatful
 
My power glo is an 8w erm..... not sure about the glowlux

water params are:

Temp - 76
PH - 7.1
nitite - <0.1
KH - 60
GH - 140

what do you mean by the kind of lighting?
 
I've never been able to get this plant. It is quite new in the aquarium trade. The general consensus is that it is difficult to grow, require soft acidic water, CO2 and reasonably high light levels.

Your figures look a little hard, slightly alkali, and probably not much light. You may have a problem with it. Where did you get it?
 
I got it from:

http://www.tropica.com

my PH is gone up recently as i didnt have CO2 for about a week but its starting 2 come down again, it normaly around 6.7 - 6.8

i think ill try and move it into a more well lit part of my tank and see how it goes

thanks for the help
 
How odd, you ordered it direct from Tropica? They are a Danish company and don't do mail order in Denmark!
