I've been thinking about getting an aquatic utric. Should I just put it in a pot full of distilled water and under my 3 26-watt cool white fluorescent lightbulbs? What do they need, ie. what are the requirements for growing them? I want to get Utricularia gibba
Question 1: What kind of substrate is best for aquatic utrics to help them flower?
HOORAY! My U. inflata is making some bladders!
Question 2: These black 'seed' looking things appeared over night. I did some research and couldn't figure out what they are. Bladders..?
U. gibba
My very first plant (N. ventrata) FINALLY decided to make it's first pitcher for me. HOORAY!
Ceph is pumping out pitcher's like crazy right now. And the D. capallaris 'Long Arms' are starting to flower. Can't believe I just planted them from seed a month and a half ago..
Made a new setup...
Summer's here and I'm stuck at home. Why not make a paludarium for a small project?
I'm using my 10G tank for this project. I had a single 2.5 betta divider that sparked the idea of using those dividers to divide the land and water section. I had to get two more which brought me to 3 dividers...
Hey folks,
I've got some giant species of the popular "instant pet" Triops coming.
I will be attempting two large species: T. cancriformis (4.5") and T. australiensis green form (4.25")
Triops australiensis
Not my picture:
I was curious for those of you who have kept regular Triops (or...
I am trying to get some cap seeds. (I would rather have red form, but it really doesn't matter) I do not have any CPs to trade, but some nice aquatics I do:

Hey Guys,

I've been in the planted aquarium hobby for 5+ years now, and have amassed quite the collection of aquatic plants. My CP collection on the other hand, needs help. If anybody is interested, I will overtrade my plants in your favor for a few CPs.
I just cleared out most of my tanks, but I still...
These are really starting to overthrow my terrarium pond. I would like to give away a hand full of Salvinia natans. It is a small easy to grow aquatic plant that floats around on water. Give them about a week to adapt, and I'm serious, they will multiply!
I've never shipped live things, but its...
Ok, i have a large bin of water in which i was going to propagate aquatic plants in. at the moment its in the house and i might be moving it outside or dumping it, but at the moment its serving as a live food culture for my bettas.
In the beginning i walked by and noticed mosquito larvae. I...
I am sure some of you have seen the "tropica" style aquatic plants sold in the clear tubes with the water gel crystals. These are aquarium plants growing in very humid mini terrarium conditions and I have been hardening mine off for use in vivariums where they are growing out of water but with...
U. humboldtii plant
This is a small plant from an aerial stolon from one of my larger plants. Plants from these original seedlings have been producing 'paddles' 4-7" high and about 1.5" wide. However, I do not know if this is truly their adult size. For whatever reason, this species is rarely...

My local stores doesn't carry Schultz aquatic plant soil any more.
I'm looking for a place to get some for my pings.
If anyone has access to APS I can pay price plus shipping cost.
PM me if you can find some.
I can send a ping or two on top of the price/shipping.
Thanks,

Well, maybe not only help from Cindy, but she will know what I'm talking about the most. A few months ago I started a thread discussing the best way to grow N. Northiana. Cindy had mentioned the burnt earth she can get on the other side of the world, and people further suggested Schultz...
I am interested in starting some all aquatic utrics and thought that U. gibba would be easy. I could trade something possibly, but since it grows so easily and everywhere, I was wondering if anyone had it SASE? (with large envelopes)

Hi I have some flava that I just divided after keeping it for 2 yrs. I have 4 with growth tips and roots and 1 with just roots. They are in the fridge for now as I don't have room for them I was amazed on how large it grew. Now that I'm downsizing a bit to keep fish I need to trade some away. I...
