phoenix44 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I should have a heap of young barthii at the end of summer as they are throwing runners all over the place. They won't look like that without very strong light though. If I remember correctly ozelot is a hybrid of leopard and barthii, and leopard is a hybrid of horizontalis and something else. Most of the redish Echinodorus sp. are a hybrid of barthii somewhere along the line. Red special or red rubin would probably go a similar colour with your light. ill keep an eye out for runners. they are currently sitting on about 20-30 JBL balls in the substrate. maybe that has something to do with the colour as well? I do remember ordering some red special and some of the other ones you mentioned, so what ill do is order 1 plant in a week, and see what comes in - that way if i get these again, ill know what they are sold as. Damn I hope my planted tank matures to the degree yours has. The tank actually hasn't matured yet...i think... Its only been running a month or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
