greenzone5 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi! What kind of conditions aldrovanda need? I`m working to setup where i can grow tropical water lilies and aquatic cp`s. I dont know anything about aldrovanda, so every info os needed. Can i grow in 20-40 aquarium, can i put example some little crabs to same aquarium? Example caridina or neocaridina? How the heat? Is room temparature good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I don't think an aquarium is an adequate environment for them. They really do best when outside, in full sunshine. I had pretty good success (until this year) growing a small colony in a 10 gallon tank, on the porch, with bog plants and U. gibba. The bigger the environment, the better.

greenzone5 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ok. That is good idea, but winter. Can i keep winter inside in tank and summers in out? Is this hard plant, i mean if i move to outside and in, how the temparature? Is temparatures change bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 For the winter, you want to aim for something just above freezing. They will for turions. You can either put them in a fridge or a garage or an attic. I had mine in a tub of water, in an 80qt cooler, in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
