Hey old man! Yes, I think you are right that's Blyxa japonica. I have dense row of Blyxa that served as background for my tank. It survived Ike and probably kept my tank from having an algae bloom when we got power back. Its gets too tall to serve as for a foreground plant though.![]()
Any suggentions welcome. Is this plant BLYXA JAPONICA
ound: I actually got the official word on Friday. I'll bring the PickAxe and Shovel! [smilie=l:
How do I join NASH?

Hey Dave:
Look in the NASH forum for meeting notices. Usually we meet once a month on a Saturday. The Senskes are often generous enough to let us hold meetings at ADG. First meeting is free and you can bring the fee at the subsequent meetings. kwc1974, our treasurer, head cook and bottle washer, or Navarro our artist-in-residence, can give you more details.
I get little white flowers coming up all the time. I have 150 watt MH + CO2 for my 60P - the Bylxa pearls like crazy! Its easy to propagate as you describe.The Blyxa should only get about 3 to 6 inches high with my high lighting I hope.
That is about what I want in the front as the other plants behind it are quite tall.
Bunbuku, did you ever get any flowers and how hard is it to propagate from the basal side shoots?
