    She seems to be coming out of it, back to the old height and its hands are stretching out again! Not 100% but getting there!

    Well, serves me right for changing horses in mid race.....
    After putting the small shocked bunch in the fuge, it withered away after 3 days. I would not recommend doing this. Experiment concluded.....

    HAHA.....No worries bro, Florida's the xenia capitol, at least central florida is.( I think, lol there's nore species of the little guys floating around than I can shake a stick at) My LFS has a peice that he's been cultivating for 15 years. Xenias are very temperamental, I had mine for nearly 3 months and looking just fine, and then BAM, it took a nose dive. I also have a frog spawn, and a kenya tree that are doing great. I dont know why the xens died but im leaving the first one I bought where it is. I won't give up hope so long as there's a foot left......;D

    I put a small rock full of Zenia in my tank, and it never looked happy. It eventually wilted away to nothing but a little blob of brown on the rock. I wrote it off due to the fact that I keep nitrates at zero. Then a couple of weeks ago I noticed they are coming back strong. It's almost like they had to die and start over.
