The question we were trying to answer was: Does grazing in the wild stimulate stolon reproduction?
Some plants, such as the Echinidorus species or the marine algae from the Caulerpa genus, produce a horizontal aerial stem, known as a runner (or stolon).
Babies were thrown out on skinnier runners (stolons about the diameter of Anubias roots) until all the plants in the tank were mini-sized. Not one of them was more than 3 cm in diameter, and the individual leaves were 3-6 mm and smaller.
