Right.

Anyway, share pictures of your set up, including the whips you have spawned, we all love seeing successful breeders.

they're non aquatic plants often sold in the lfs's around us for some reason though they do last a while submerged they eventually rot away.

grats on the spawn though

yup that is correct what hinchles has stated. they are non aquatic plants and will over a period of time die away as they are not suited for underwater life.
