A-town... Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 the bottom one look like an amazon but the top one im unsure of as they look pretty similiar somtimes the sword plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 It is a bit hard to tell sometimes because the amazons can vary depending on growing conditions and wether they have been grown emersed or submersed. My guess would be that the top one is Echinodorus parvifloris "tropica" and the second Echinodorus bleheri. E. bleheri has a slightly wider leaf and more stalk then E. amazonicus. The top one has changed form and may have been grown emersed originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 the smaller one to the right of the top pic is the same plant - just hasn't taken off as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 On second thoughts the first one is not parvifloris the leaf doesn't match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'd say the top one is a marbled queen sword possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 The plant in the background in the first pic is probably ambulia or cambodia. Hope that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Marble queen is a hybrid with cordifolius and has similar charactristics. I was recently given both as unknown submersed baby plants and converted them to emersed to ID them. The first plant has changed the form of the leaf and both my plants had that rounded leaf all the way through. Gave them all away---they get too big for me---all you see is stalks. I think if it was marble queen or cordifolius it would hane gone mad and taken the lid off the tank by the time it grew that many leaves. Nice looking plant though.
