<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not really a big fan of stem plants, but I just give it a try on keeping this Alternanthera reineckii 'red' . It has a very nice red stem plant but everywhere I read on net, they always saying that this type of species are difficult to grow. It's been in my tank for almost <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Ariel;">10 days</span></span>, and I can see the grow rate is rather medium even with intense lights and co2. It is in the dirt tank after all! <span style="font-family: Ariel; font-size: x-small;">Here are the pics :</span></div>

There was 12 years ago since I visited this place, and yesterday I did it again. its has changed a lot. The journey took about 2 hours drive from my home. It wasn't that bad, although its dry season here up north. Just curious, about what I can find in this cascade area. </div>

In Malaysia, you can get more than 30<b> <span style="color: orange;"><i>Ghost Shrimp</i></span></b> (<i>Palaemonetes</i>) for RM2. Usually these shrimps been sold as a source food
for Arowanas. I've been keeping ghost shrimp for quite sometime, and the
longest time they can live was about almost 2 years. Here is a little bit info about <span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Ghost Shrimp</i></b></span>:<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Ghost Shrimp</i></b></span>, also known as <span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Glass Shrimp</i></b></span>, are excellent scavengers. They
are inexpensive and efficient aquarium cleaners that will actively
search for any kind of left over food in your aquarium. Their
transparent bodies and frenetic food-searching behavior make <span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Ghost
Shrimp</i></b></span> an interesting addition to your freshwater aquarium.</div>

The <span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Ghost Shrimp</i></b></span> body is transparent, and an orange to yellow colored
spot is visible in the center of the tail. The body is segmented, and
features ten sets of legs. The first four sets have tiny claws that aid
the shrimp in feeding. <span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Ghost Shrimp</i></b></span> are relatively small invertebrates,

An established freshwater aquarium of at least 10 gallons with plenty of

the female back to the main aquarium and feed the baby shrimp newly
hatched<span style="color: orange;"> <b>

I've heard talk previously about Java fern 'Red'. What I found on the net typically said that Java fern 'Red' originally comes from Thailand; whilst Tropica, an aquatic plants supplier in Germany, also have this species in cultivation. I've seen many Java ferns growing in the wild but most of them are just the common Microsorum pteropus, but not this one! Its' leaves are a little bit narrow and longer, with a touch of redness on the tips. The size is probably about 1 to 1.5 feet long. Surprisingly, it grows vigorously even though fully exposed to sunlight, unlike many common Microsorum species where they are usually found in shade and in high humidity on the edge of streams. I spotted just two places today where these species were growing... and it was in the same stream! Here are the pics!</div>

A day out last week was had in a famous rafting and kayaking spot in Kedah. It's a very nice cascade with very strong moving crystal clear water. This place is always busy during weekends and public holidays; there's also camping activities by the likes of groups of families and kids! Anyway, that's not what I'm about to focus on here :P ... instead, it is my curiosity about aquatic plants growing in the area. It has been almost 4 years since I was there last, and I can say it has changed a lot! </div>

Been on the lookout for Christmas moss and was pleased to find some; but my experience with keeping Christmas moss is that they take time to adjust from emersive form to submerged, probably taking about a month. Growth is a little bit slower than other moss species. The Christmas tree shape appears to vary depending on your lights and the temperature of the water.<br />

These are aquatic mosses which I collected in various streams in the northern regions of west peninsular Malaysia, except for the Spiky moss which I bought from a friend. These mosses grow in different conditions. </div>

Created this emersive set-up for Marsilea hirsuta as I wanted to see the production of spore caps. Have been keeping this type of plant for about a year or so now and they hardly produce any spore caps underwater. In this case, I positioned them in the balcony area outside my window, so they were exposed to hot and occasionally humid conditions, though not in the full glare of the sun. So we shall see in due course if the emersive state is necessary to produce spore caps. You can check the previous setup here:<b><span style="color: orange;"> <a href="http://fhurzan.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-propagate-java-fern-plantlets.html" target="_blank">How to propagate Java fern plantlets</a></span></b></div>

Noticed my java fern melted or burned in my tank today. It doesn't surprise me at all as it happened previously. The symptoms seem to come and go. Stopped injecting co2 about a week ago. I heard some people saying it has to do with nutrient deficiencies (advice which is full of technicalities), and some says it's disease, etc. Oh off course, I didn't bury the rhizoms, as I tied it to the driftwood. It's also infected my Echinodorus tellenus. I did a water change, and trimmed all the leaves until they were bald! It sounds a bit extreme, but that's what I did. </div>

these infected leaves of java fern disease or nutrient deficiencies whatever you call it, will spread quickly in 1 night. Remove all the leaves that have been infected as much as you can. Don't worry about your precious green leaves, (sounds a bit disappointing) they will grow back over a time. be patient !<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A water fern with very beautiful transparent green leaves. Bolbitis heudelotii or African water fern originally came from West Africa (Congo), where they grow along the edge of the waterfall with rocky habitat. When planting do not cover the rhizome because it will rot, and it is best to plant Bolbitis heudelotii on a driftwood or stone. Keep the plant in position with fishing line but usually i used sewing thread as it will dissolved in the water over a time. This beautiful plants is easy to propagate by splitting the rhizome. Growth can be increased considerably by supplying CO2, and is only optimal in soft, slightly acidic water. Based on my experience, Bolbitis heudelotii is extremely slow growing plants, probably slower than common Java fern (Microsorum pteropus) and it is easily attracts algae. But other than that, they're easy to keep.</div>

I got this bug swimming on the surface of the water in my planted aquarium. I'm not sure about the species of this bug at first, but I searched on google as water bugs and came up with the result as <span style="color: white;"><b>Gerridae</b></span> or <span style="color: white;"><b>Water Strider</b></span> (<span style="color: white;"><i>Gerris remegis</i></span>). It seems harmless to the floras and faunas in your tank so I just ignore it. This is some shots of the Gerridae or Water Striders in my tank. You can read more in Wiki about this creatures here: <b><i><span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerridae" target="_blank">Gerridae</a></span></i></b></div>

Got so many plantlets from my java fern, so I decided to put them in plastic container with wet soil, this way they would grow faster rather than underwater as long as you keep the moist and humidity constantly. I also did this to my Marselia hirsuta. Will update the progression for these plants soon.</div>

Left my tank about 2 weeks, as I went visit my dad in Pahang. Its not so wonderful there as raining almost everyday, but I did made a short trip to the jungle about 60KM from his place. As usual, he's interested in joining me . The road is quite narrow and it pissing down that morning too.. I hate driving in such situation! Well, he paid for the petrol..lol. After coming back from Pahang, this is how my tank doing.. Jeez!! really need a "haircut"!!</div>
