Haha, it seems that Aquoi isn't paying his site host bills. Google has a cache of it though, I can't link it here for some reason.

But go to Google, type in "Aquoi glossostigma elatinoides" and on the second result, click on "cached".

No pictures, but the text is still there. Might want to save down the text for future reference.

mine have grown well in my 3ft tank on lapis gravel... had only 50W FL light directly over head... it took a while but once acclimatised it spread like wild fire...

TIPS:
The most difficult part about Glosso is planting, it is a back breaking job...

MUST have tweezers, not way round it!

Cut each section at least 3 nodes... the remove all the leaves except for the front pair of leaves. Hold leafless end and stuff the plant real deep into the gravel. This is to ensure that it doesn't float up with slight disturbance, longer roots batter anchor.

IF YOU HAVE BOTTOM dweller like Loaches, Cories, Suckers... your backaches will become more painful... I only have 3 Cory when I started... They have fun uprooting my back aching breaking glosso planting. but those they missed grew to be great looking stuff!

I bought $5 worth of glosso at Petmart... I think I only planted <$0.50 worth... the rest I gave away... My back just cannot take the strain.. SO NO NEED TO BUY 1 BIG PACK... YOUR BACK CAN'T TAKE IT!
