I finally got my hands on some Hemianthus callitrichoides!

Look for it going around in GWAPA soon. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">

Some guy in the Planted Tank forum found it as the ground cover of his bonsi tree.

I wish I could be like Mr. Sarcastic when I grow up! ;)

There's a plant called Baby's Tears (Soleirolia soleirolii)that looks
very similar and is commonly available in nurseries.
Not suitable for submerged growth. Its sometimes used
as a moss substitue in Bonsai pots. Chances are
that's what he found. It won't grow submeresed but
as a terrestrial / marsh plant - its looks very nice!

I also got some "Hemianthus callitrichoides" last summer (2003 summer)... it is much easier to keep them on the ADA's sands. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">

You should attend the meetings! Most of this
stuff ends up being given away at the mini-auctions
we have.

Currently I'm refraining myself from hacking up
my tanks - AGA Convention is only 4 weeks away.
Drop by the meeting in Nov or Dec.
