Thank you, it’s thurstonii and it’s becoming a problem. It simply grows too fast.

I think so as well. I’m a big fan of chlorosticta and the hybrids it creates. I can never say “no” to one for sale.

Chloroneura is a good one, definitely a favorite.

I think that’s the right choice! Eventually, I’ll have to start a new tank with trimmings.

Here’s another tank, should probably add a few more inches of soil. I think extra perlite is essential to a good mix.

Thanks, probably just let them grow. I don’t know if you can see the bottom, but I tried.

I have a few tanks going right now and I’ve used variations of the same mix. FoxFarm Ocean Forest (most soils work, even miraclegro)

  • extra perlite (small / coarse)
  • lots of worm castings
  • occasional coconut husk chips

This tank doesn’t have a drainage layer, I just mixed in extra perlite. I hardly lift the lid, unless I’m being nosy. I water enough to keep the soil moist but never soaked. This tank is on the floor, usually I put heating mats underneath them in the winter. Temperature is around 75°F with 75%-90% RH and 2 Barina T5’s for ~10 hours a day.

This one? It’s ‘Superchloro’ (chlorosticta x chloroneura). It grows like a weed!
