    it depends on the tank. A buddy of mine cannot get it to grow in his tank at all, in mine it takes off like a weed. Spreads so fast I refuse to keep it!

    Same here. In my 80g they grew like weeds. In my 125g with all params in check and everything good they just melt away. I can't figure it out.
