I just wanted to share some photos of my Utricularia tank. The substrate is Flora-max mixed with a little peat moss at the bottom with RO water and no CO2 injection, so I don't grow Aldrovanda in here, although since it doesn't really have algae problems I'm considering adding CO2 and putting Aldrovanda in here. I use two compact fluorescent lightbulbs on a timer for 8 hours each day.
The most dominant plant is Utricularia geminiscapa. I started with 15 stems and I have over 100 now. I may do a giveaway in the next few months for some of them. It's even growing faster than the Utricularia gibba.
I also have inflata and I'm not sure whether foliosa and intermedia are still alive, but the inflata isn't producing any bladders. There are small organisms I can see which get caught in the bladders. I'd love to see that happen sometime.
I found it interesting that this stem seems to be getting redder. The foliosa was reddish when I got it a few months ago, but I'm not sure whether that is this plant or not.
