Erio Blood Vomit (Trithuria Sp)

[jiang604]

Very beautiful plant and now have tanks of them. I've grown a ton of foreground plants before like the 90 gallon planted with like mats and mats of hair grass. Out of all the foreground plants I've kept. This is by far my favourite. You get the intense red and green and they never grow too tall.

Here's a picture of 1 before I start splitting it:


After splitting and replanting them, they will cover in no time:


and 2 closeup shots:



BONUS: Bucephalandra, expensive plant... was trying to grow them 2 different ways. This way wasn't so successful but it started to flower and as discussed with Stuart (CRS_Fan) probably a last ditch effort to reproduce or something.

What conditions does this plant need? Is it difficult?

even though its classified as an Erios, its more of a bunch grass with an extremely long root system. The only other requirement is CO2.

Will excel flourish do? I would like to try it in a tiny nano tank. Anyone know if it is available in the lower mainland?

Most Erio species will melt with the addition of Flourish Excel/Metricide, Tom. BTW Frank.... your Tonina, Blood Vomit, and Bucephalandra look very nice !
