Thanks:).

We’re constantly updating our database and it’s engine. Since we’re focusing on the fish and plants, we’re planning to add at least 100 new fish profiles and 20 new plants until the end of year 2006. If you have any list of aquarium plants, let us know, and we’ll gladly find the rest of information. Naturally, we’ll add them into our database:).

When I first saw this plant as an aquatic plant I was amazed. Because aglonima, as far as I know, is not an aquatic plant but ordinary ornamental plant. This plant is growing well in my garden and it prefers shade. I’m not sure to put one of them into my tank. I’m not sure they grow under water. But I should try one.
