Dimsum Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 It looks like it but not really sure. Bit of info, it grows almost like a weed in my guppy tank, it sheds needles/leaves when I pull it out. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 NO. The picture is not very clear but it looks like Ceratophyllum demersum, also known as Hornwort or Coontail. It is a nationally banned plant which is ilegal to posess. It is brittle and breakes easily whereas pine tree (Mayaca) does not. Compost Heap.

supasi Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I agree with alan A local lake in my area is full of this plant. It just grows and grows into huge floating mess as each time the stem breaks it becomes an instant new plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
