tracytrout Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Your tank is stunning Jennifer...love the jungle effect and great you've given your fish lots of space to swim freely at the front :happy1: :happy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Rotala wallichii Looks great. I remember a while ago people were unsure if this is what it was, I think it needs to be flowered to know exactly. Jen, whereabouts is the glandulosa?

Jennifer Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I remember a while ago people were unsure if this is what it was, I think it needs to be flowered to know exactly. Bob Ward told me it was Mayaca, so I believed him, but yes, I am hoping to start it emersed (or give it to Alan who is an expert at emersed plants). Jen, whereabouts is the glandulosa? Between the R. macrandra and L. repens. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 We have grown it emersed, and the results were inconclusive. :nilly: Some was wallichii and some was the other, but wallichii was more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, it looks cute so I don't really care. :happy2: But I am sure once the martini wears off I will feel the responsibility and think about growing it emersed so it can flower... :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Between the R. macrandra and L. repens. :oops: ohh that's the green plant we were talking about that looks like aromatica? I googled it, got this, and got excited :lol: http://www.plantgeek.net/forum/album/pic977.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 ohh that's the green plant we were talking about that looks like aromatica? No, that isn't the one we were talking about. This one has very dark green leaves with burgundy tips. One of my all time favourite plants but I think the hot weather this week is killing it.

antwan Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 oh that sucks, so wouldn't do very well in a 30C tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have converted wallichii on three occasions and flowered it and it has always turned out to rotundifolia. Red and green pine are just different types of Mayaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks guys. The balansae was not doing well as the tank got more acidic from the increasing CO2 so I pulled it out and now have barclaya in its place which is proving to be quite the weed. Pups anyone? oh that sucks, so wouldn't do very well in a 30C tank? Yeah, it doesn't like anything much over 25 degrees but this week the tank has been up at 30 for most of the week. I could have turned off the lights to cool it down but I didn't want the crypts to melt again. :roll: I will be so sad if I loose my glandulosa...I never see it around here... &c:ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 It is easy to get more if you lose it, so don't stress Mine does well in 30C. I got it from animates as some mislabelled rubbish :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, do you have any recent pics? I really find that it can be difficult, especially when the temp climbs but it is good to know it is readily available.

Joe Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 OMG you found some Anubias afzelli I heard somewhere that it is very hard to come by in NZ. It's now in good hands too There are two types of Mayaca common in aquariums: M. fluviatilis and M. sellowiana. Both of there plants are green, and M. sellowiana has longer, wispy leaves that give it a fluffy appearence. I'm not sure if they're currently in NZ. There are a few more species, and I think there is a red Mayaca (not sure though), but in NZ red pine is always Rotala wallichii or similar types of Rotala. Mayaca fluviatilis - Green Pine Mayaca sellowiana - Green Pine Rotala wallichii - Red Pine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
