Coralite

Eriocaulon aquaticum is a species which I recently collected growing emerged just a few inches from the waterline of a lake in Rhinelander Wisconsin. I know it is not a "new" plant but it's use in our tanks seems to be greatly limited for some reason. I have been growing it submerged for 3 weeks now and I am really digging this plant. In soft water, well dosed, strong light and CO2 this plant is adapting well with dense foliage and splitting quite rapidly. I wonder what the foreground will look like once I stop pulling it up to split up daughter plants. Here are some pics of Eriocaulon aquaticum alone and in a foreground.
