Piptospatha sp in my tank

Here is some update on my Piptospatha sp in my tank. Its only about 2 weeks old, but they already sent out the new shots and heavy long roots! Here are the pics :

This one is in high tech tank


new submerged leaf

new roots occurred after 2 weeks submerged

This one is in low tech
I can say that their grow rates is not as bad as Anubias tho, although it is almost the same as Java ferns.

Piptospatha, Ferns, Mosses & Aridarum species

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.

Piptospatha Species

I went to the local stream just for a short prowl, though I had a very crazy runny nose which I just hate! Was just looking around in the stream areas.. and found a Piptospatha species growing abundantly there emersively.. so I got a chance to take photos of them.. took some of these and might try them out in my tank.. enjoy ;-)
