alanmin4304 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Who has been poking around in the local streams? I think the first and second are the same but the first has had more light. Potamogeton crispus. The second is not glosso but I am not sure what it is. I had some given to me as Micranthemum but it is similar to but not that either. Both are better as cold water in natural sunlight and may not survive in tropical with moderate light. I think the second may be for sale on that site by Waterplantz as an unknown.

supasi Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Agree with Alan,Potamogeton crispus, it grows in a few of the coastal lakes around Wanganui Manawatu areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 The avon river is full of it. You couldn't give it away down here. However people will buy canadian water pest (Elodea canadensis) which is all over the place. Hard to get nice tidy plants though. 30 years ago I used to sell 300 bunches of Elodea a week to the shops. I think I have seen Potomageton in fish tanks on overseas sites.
