Steve R. Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Does anyone have aquatic plants from Sulawesi? I am staring a new Sulawesi lake tank and would love to have also plants from there. If so, can you post information and pictures? Edwardnah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have some supposed Sulawesi Fissidens honestly it looks like a type of Fissidens nobilis to me. I am not sure of an id because of all the different trade name for moss and plants, I can tell you it's growing in Florida tap water that's around 7.8 to 8.2 ph.

manticore Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 i know that in the towuti lake where most of the sulawesi shrimp ar ecoming from there is a native chara algae, that is really pretty. so if you want to make a prefect balanced ecosistem you should search for that chara species.

Steve R. Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Interesting, I have not found any information that the Sulawesi Fissidens actually comes from there. The chara algae was discussed in a previous thread: http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/topic/987-sulawesi-native-plants/ I also found some information about aquatic plants from Sulawesi on aquascapingworld.com 1. Sulawesi Aquatic Plant (Ottelia mesenterium (Towuti water plant))2. Sulawesi Aquatic Plant (Lymnocharus sp. (Sulawesi plant))3. Sulawesi Aquatic Plant (Eriocaulon cinereum)4. Sulawesi Aquatic Plant (Eriocaulon guineanensis)5. Sulawesi Aquatic Plant Chara SP Fragilis (Red cherry water plant) manticore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manticore Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 i really do not think that fisidens would be typical for towuti lake, if we are talking about these usual shrimps. Chara fragilis is for sure the species that i meant. that lives directly in contact with the native populations of sulawesi shrimps.

Steve R. Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 If I can't find suitable plants from Sulawesi lakes, I would probably go with Pogostemon helferi (Downoi because) it looks similar to Ottelia mesenterium, which can be foudn in Lake Matano. And probably some Moss. http://underwaterworld.altervista.org/Piante/ottelia_mesenterium.html http://scapeclub.org/forum/showthread.php?11823-Nice-pictures-of-Lake-Matano-bottom&s=f9dcffc8fbf1ca12383b056eb7e0e52b http://www.flowgrow.de/db/aquaticplants/pogostemon-helferi Elo500 and manticore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
