Euphyllia Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 BTW Euphy, is that a pitcher plant as your avatar? Not sure which you saw because I just changed it, but both are. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Not sure which you saw because I just changed it, but both are. Are they yours? I love them Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Are they yours? I love them Sadly, the first one wasn't. The first one (if you saw it) is like my dream plant because it looks like a bawss with it's spikes and such, but it is an utlrahighlander and requires 40F night temperatures with 100% humidity, saturated... Both of which can't be provided for long periods of time. The one you're seeing now is mine, and it's probably my favorite. The pitcher you're seeing is it's baby pitchers. The bigger pitchers should look like this... Gonna be a few years before I get to see that though. Oh and thanks! Yeah I love them too! Link to comment

That first one was really cool, but I think all carnivorous plants are ridiculously awesome. Sadly I can't even keep a venus flytrap alive. Link to comment

Sadly I can't even keep a venus flytrap alive. There are north american pitcher plants that look completely different, but they're the same concept. You could put one in a planter box and sit it outside, it should grow. They can even live through snow. I don't think VFT are that extreme, but they are native to North Carolina I believe, so they should grow outside as long as you bring them inside when it frosts. Just water with RO/DI because they can't tolerate mineral build up near the roots! Link to comment

The last 2 I had wouldn't even respond to the hairs in their traps being touched. Couldn't get them to eat anything Link to comment
yoshii Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Kinda off-topic, but 1. Euphy that's a really cool pitcher plant in your avvie! 2. Metro, I love you sig! Did you make it? I think I'm in love with the colors Pictures of re-done tank? Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 1. Euphy that's a really cool pitcher plant in your avvie! Pictures of re-done tank? Thanks! I have about 300 more of different varieties on the way because I just got some seeds from Indonesia as well. And yeah, pics of re-done tank is a must... Didn't even realize it was redone!

Euphyllia Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 WOAH Sounds awesome! You have space to keep them all? See! She hid it in one line I really don't, haha! The seller I bought them from has good germination rates of their seeds since they're newly collected, so I may end up with around 100 (conservatively) if everything goes correctly. I'll just post the link to what I want you to see... Pony Meme Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I tried to take a cell pic (remember it's 1.6 megapixels and has like a 3 second shutter) but that failed. So I blame Yoshii for not being here with a camera. In other news, the talbot's damsels are being extremely civil and not killing each other like pancakes did to eggs. They're also being super cute darting in and out of holes in the rocks. Oh and pancakes has been eaten by the black blob of doom. Link to comment

altolamprologus Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey! You're the one who told me not to take pics of this tank! All your fault! Talbots are so pretty and cute! Only because it looked like crap. Now that the new rock is in and I moved a couple things around it looks a lot better. I just have to clean up the sandbed and move the monti caps over to the 29 and it'll be ready for a photoshoot! Link to comment
yoshii Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It didn't! Ooh I'm excited to see it with the new rock! Does the tank look more filled in? Or crowded? Be done by Friday! Or else you'll have to wait another week Link to comment

Or else you'll have to wait another week It looks perfectly filled in, and still has plenty of open space. I'm probably be doing the water change tomorrow or thursday so friday is perfect! muahahhahahah Is it bad I was happy he got eaten? Oh and just in case you wanted to know, it was still twitching while in blobby's stomach Link to comment

altolamprologus Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Nice replacement. Now if only you could make that into a tiny little emoticon with a little sad face puking into it... Link to comment
