Thanks for that info, Paul. As a result, I'll be stocking my own
laoensis tanks with such plants in a day or two
If you happen to know the scientific name of that plant, please let us know, though I'm sure I can find something similar. Are the leaves fairly soft and flexible?
When I right-clicked on the egg series photo above, I couldn't help but laugh at the photo name "sixpack"
Have you noticed adults preying on eggs at all or did you remove all of them already?
Also, how calm was the water? Mine has some degree of current as I'm using both a sponge filter and a Fluval. But the current is not intense as the Fluval's water outlet is pointed upward and the flow is cushioned by java moss, while there are areas of the rock-strewn tank that are very calm. Still, the temperature is around 19-20 C...
