....or budding or something
This is in the 30 gallon that I almost had a raging ich plague in. Â I removed the sick fish (as well as the guppies that were nipping the fins off of the koi angel and the albino tetra). Â I lost an angel and a tetra but I think that's unrelated (the angel wasn't eating since I got him. Â I think he was just sick or retarded). Â I'd turned off C02 and raised the temp to about 85 degrees and that seemed to do the trick. Â Also did about a 30% water change, brought the temp back down, and pruned and rearranged some of the hornwort.
So I'm sitting there breathing a sigh of relieve. Â Fins are growing back. Â Fish are active again. Â The hornort is spread out and I'm just sitting there admiring the way the ripples in the water look with all that green and just enjoying the tank when I notice something....
I've got an anubias barteri in the back that grows to about half the height of the tank and stops. Â The plant propogates and is thriving, but it never gets higher than a specific point. Â Well yesterday there's a stalk that's aobut twice as high with a little bud coming out of it. Â There's also a similar stalk coming out of my coffee leaf anubias that looks like it's doing the same thing.
Sweeeet!
Is this a bud or a flower? Â How common is it for anubias to bud/flower underwater? Â I wonder if raising the temp did it?
