SamH Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 The closest pant I can think of is Lysimachia nummularia (http://www.aquahobby.com/garden/e_Lysim ... aria_1.php). The auction isn't just for that plant, it includes 8 other plants too. Perhaps ask the seller a question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Are you into heavily planted tanks or are you just looking for another decoration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I would love to get a planted tank going,just in the process of seeing whats out there ,i bought some Ambulia and temple plant and i have a little indian ferm? The fish seem to like what ever i put in and it gets eaten before it can get established i have now got some diy co 2 yeast mixture going and the lights are 2 39watt power glows (i think) i have a community set up ..

SamH Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 What fish do you own? Sounds like a community to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 One tank has clown loaches i think i have 8 plus some 2 catfish and an algea eater . The other bigger tank has 3 neons, 6 swordtails, 2 cat fish ,4 BNs and 6 guppies and an upside down cat fish . Had a female fighter but she died had some sort of bulge on her side. Looking to have some more fish but not sure what yet .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Sounds like a commuinty! Sorry to hear about your fighter, one of my females has a sore that's just healing up now. If you don't want your plants to get eaten then you could try and offer some other food to the catfish and algae eaters. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks i feed different food including; cucumber ,flakes, algea tablets. Not sure why the fighter died there was a lump under the skin on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I wonder why your plants are getting eaten then? I found the plant name and where the seller got the picture from: http://www.aquahobby.com/garden/e_umbrosum.php That's IF you still need it Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 There is a plant that is sold here as Micranthemum but I don't think it actually is. The leaf looks similar but is not the same. Unfortunately I cant remember the name. I was given some ages ago and I gave it away to someone who came up with the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 It's a little bit hard to tell from the photo - possibly Micranthemum umbrosum. It has slightly larger, rounder leaves, compared to Micranthemum micranthemoides, also umbrosum is a pale green where micranthemoides is darker green. LOL - just typed out the stuff above, and decided to google "Micranthemum umbrosum" - my first result was that exact image - good to know my memory isn't failing (yet). I found both of the Micranthemums annoying to grow - no issues with growth, just the thin stems were quite fragile which I found a hassle.

alanmin4304 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Have you obtained and grown both micranthemums in NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Have you obtained and grown both micranthemums in NZ? Yes, I don't have either anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
