What y'all think?

 

[anewbie]

i tried one of those very very hard to grow.

 

[gwand]

Lovely

 

[Magnum Man]

love it, but the lack of green, I assume these have very specific needs, both in lighting, and nutrients in the water???

 

[16gallontanker]

I think so

 

[gimme30]

I know it's been a while, but how are they holding up?
I've been eyeballing them as the next victim on my plants-to-murder-next list but I haven't had much luck with the standard white variety.

 

[16gallontanker]

They got torn up by my ramshorn snails so they didn't last long unfortunately but I still have my anubius nana golden petite though and my other plants are also doing ok

 

[gimme30]

Rats. And Urgh.
Darn snails.
The only thing I can keep alive are anubias but you know, they're all green. Maybe they'll come out with a hardier glo version.

Chances they were dying and the ramshorn snail were eating the decaying remains. They are not the sort of plant snails would normally eat if they are healthy.

That's true

Hey,

the light you need for those is insane, due to the lack of chlorophyll.
I managed to keep one of those for some months (a true one, like in the picture, not one of those fake greenish ones). But you don't want to know the lights I had.

In 99.999% of all tanks, they will die. And that's still probably guessed too low.

Yeah, I'm finding just the standard white variety needs more light but that leads to algae issues.
Sigh. I was hoping the OP had found success.
Not that I could replicate it; I am proficient in the art of plant murder.
