supasi Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Cool ,I was hoping it was glosso, now im gonna go plant it in my tank and with the aid of co2 i should hopefully have a nice carpet to cover the ugly gravel. if anyone has any idea of what the pink coloured plant is id be keen to know.

alanmin4304 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Glosso needs pretty good light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jn Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Bigger leaved one looks a little like ludwigia to me. (Repens?) I've seen it look like that in my pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I thought that as well but have only grown it emersed or tropical under artificial light rather than cold and daylight. Ludwigia repens would be my pick also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Will find out soon as i purchased a pot of ludwiga repens from local garden centre that has been grown emersed and have planted it outside in my new pond. willl see how that starts to grow and compare.(although i know that will take a while.) i am now also in belief that it is ludwiga after comparing to the stuff i got in my planted tank.same colour and stem structure, just different shaped leaves, cheers people..

alanmin4304 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 The leaves are very similar both ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
