    Description
    Glossostigma elatinoides is one of the smallest aquarium plants. Glosso grows upwards if light is poor. Make sure larger plants do not overshadow it.

    In order to achieve strong shoots the substrate should be nutrient rich and your tank should have lots of light. To achieve the 'carpet' effect, cut it so that you have individual stems. Each piece will look like a 'T'. using tweezers, plant each stem individually. It is tedious, but it is well worth the effort.

    Softer water promotes growth significantly.

    • Buffalohead cichlid (Steatocranus casuarius)
      by imagirlgeek

      Also known as African Blockhead. Both male and female have a pronounced fatty lump on their forehead, with the male's being significantly larger. They are blue-gray in color, and spend most all of their time on the bottom of the tank, much like a Goby.

      Often they mate for life. If one of the pair dies, the surviving buffalo head will not take on a replacement.
