Crispino how big are the leaves on the Pantanal? Is a very attractive plant and maybe in the near future I would want to get several stems depending on the size of the plant.

The top leaves are the size of emersed growth and the bottom leaves are the size of L. Cuba. It's followed by growth of side-shoots that has finer leaves. I don't know what makes the leaves get wider and followed by finer leaves. They are about 6 to 10 inches tall right now.

Yeah a little bigger than I really want. Thanks anyway.

Them funny fat leaves........not sure either..........had it occur a few times........but not in the 120 Gal.

I guess it's osmocote+ induced obesity.

would either make a good midground plant? I'm looking for something with some color to fill a space behind a C. lucens and in front of R. macandra green.

I haven't had much luck with R. macandra red. I also don't know if i like the C. lucens there, it doesn't get "leafy" enough and its long stalks leave open space. Anyways, would either of these look good as a midground bushy stem?

The S. belem can be propagated to create a bushy midground plant. I keep trimming the tops and replanting them close together in a circular pattern - refer to the picture above. You may be able to create the same effect with S belem by planting them very close together, trimming and replanting when about 8 inches tall. A four inch top can grow fast. The bottom stem will sprout new branches - it applies to the S. belem as well.
