alanmin4304 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 A bit hard to tell but looks more like ambulia to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I looked at the leaves right at the bottom of the picture, as the top was too bright, and made it look like ambullia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Its quite a bright rich green more like you see in the top part, stems are reddish and very delecate. Foliage is similar to new fennel shoots. Growth is visable daily, as its not strong enough to push out of the water, it usually bends then breaks, and a new plant starts from that one. If any of that helps. Ill see if i have any clearer pics. As its growing so well I figure I can give away / trademe any extras so would prefer to know whats its called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 That might be a clearer one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I believe those are called "Poecilia reticulata" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 cabomba. you can make out by looking at the nodes. and then the leaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks I got labamba stuck in my head now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Not labomba or cabomba, I will stick with ambulia in good light. I agree with the leaf shape in first pick but cabomba is a much darker green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 This is it http://www.el-camino-real.fr/aqua/cabomba-caroliniana.jpg Hard pics for you to I.D. from sorry but you helped alot, but googling the mentioned names I could see which were closer to it. I have ambulia (though it got munched back a fair bit) but I can see the differences now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think it looks like Cabomba too. Ambulia is finer looking and does not have the leaf stalks like Cabomba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim r Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 If it breaks up and clogs your filter then it is cabomba if not then it is ambulia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nymox Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 This is that plant I got from Rotorua that came with the whiptail stowaway. Those pics it is pretty close to just bought, about 3 days in my tanks. Cept the one with the guppies thats one of the many 'offcuts' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
