Thanks! I'll take some more photos of the Glosso in a couple of weeks. It is looking a bit ragged at the moment; I left it too long without thinning it and it started to grow over itself and the lower plants got smothered.
Still on the subject of Glosso... I was looking through the Nature Aquarium World books a few days ago, and noticed that many of the tanks, especially in books 2 and 3, have Glosso that is growing vertically. It was surprising to see how different the same species can look from tank to tank, even when the tanks have the same lighting, substrate, CO2 and fertiliser levels as each other and the Glosso is not shaded.
So just what does make Glosso grow horizontally? If it is lighting levels as many people have told me, why does it grow tall in some of Amano's tanks with their intensive lighting, and why did it start to grow vertically in my tank during summer when my tank gets more sunlight? Anyone have any ideas?
