It's official. The fore ground plant being traded as Utricularia sp. 'Batang Panang' has been identified as Utricularia graminifolia and is being grown by Tropica. An article is here:
I've been growing this plant for a little over a year now. I'm suprised more people havent' tried it out yet. Much like HC it takes a little adjustment to your tank and then it takes off and forms a very nice bright green carpet.
It does much better in ample light and CO2. You plant it in little plugs just like you would HC. They sit there not doing much for a couple weeks and then it spreads via runners and fills in as a nice lawn. The leaves 'drape' over each other, which gives a neat effect. It only grows to be about 1" tall as well.
No, that is not true. The bladder openings are only large enough for microrganisms to enter. Anyone who tells you that it is eating their fish fry and baby shrimp is looking for an excuse to explain why they killed them.
