Fast growing minis

[critterguy]

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on pleuros that are particularly fast growing? Assuming good growing conditions-I myself would be interested in intermediate-warm growers that could quickly provide divisions to fill out vivariums and share with other folk but I'm sure any notes you have would be interesting.


I've got a couple things from Andy's and I'm not sure how much pricing is affected by rarity vs growth speed-I can tell you that certain species are always much larger on a plaque-so you seemingly get more for your money with those. I'd imagine they are all on the plaques for more of less the same time prior to sale.

I got some Stelis hirtzii as an example-my friend chose it as for $15 you got a portion on a plaque that was enough to divide into many little plants...versus some species that tended to only have a few offsets on each plaque.

Also, anyone know if cutting spikes on small plants would encourage more growth?
