There's the rub with trying to keep correct biotopes.
Sometime a rough road to hoe

I was just on a Papua site the other day

I know that's kind of why I have never tried it but wanted to. What sort of plants do you put in the gt biotope

My plants have mostly been collected here in Panama too.
For totally aquatic species, the Vallisneria and Hydrilla, came from lake Gatun

The floaters were also from a lagoon that feeds the Miraflores Loch in the Panama Canal.

And because I live if an islandm Mangrove pods seasonally wash up.
They are planted in bamboo tubes, that also wash up.
I cut them to leave one end open, drop a rock in, fill with sand, and jam a pod in (Propogules)

They take quite a while to root and some don;t make it.
I started withabout 15 propogules, and have ended up less than half, but the oones that took, are well worth the effort.

The terrestrials that the cichlids don't eat, (like Dieffenbachia) are also found growing wild on the island.
