Hi Jude,

Looks like Hydrocotyle, check out this URL. It has pictures of submerged and emersed forms of Hydrocotyle and Cardamine.

The classification of plants is best seen in the flowers they produce, not the leaves. Has it ever flowered?

[Amazon swords]

Hi Alan,

I forgot to mention that i bought one tiny cordifolius fluitans (also known as horizontalis and radicans) from animates, very tiny.

I love your osiris it forced me to get a tank, finally, when are you releasing martii?

I promise to share the cordifoluis fluitans when bigger.

I would like to know if anybody has Echinodorus grandiforus aureus.

These plant must be here in NZ since we have the marble swords, they did a big stint years ago having the Marble Queen, Leopard, Rubin and

Gradiflora Aureus as one set. Have seen Rubin once in Animates two years ago, nice red like a crypt but I was not interested back then.

Yeah Blue, its me!

Decided to stop lurking and join in. Those swords I mentioned are the ones I know of and only the marble, the osiris and the rose are what I have.

Love to score some Leopard though.

And where can I get them? :roll:

I already know of:

Echinodorus cordifolius Tropica Marble Queen

Echinodorus osiris

Ech horemanii x horizontalis 'Rose'

Echinodorus subulatus

Echinodorus parviflorus

Does anybody have Ech. schleuteri "Leopard"?
