JazzyJeff Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Or you could post up pics here and others can try and ID them for you. hmmm.... might have to do that tomorrow - lights are out in the tank now and the fishes are nigh nighs. (cept maybe the Khuli's - they are dancing round doing the night cleaning shift) Thanks LivingArt - that was a good site but didn't have the plant listed - these came listed under the name Spearwort but I can't find any info on them. Not even sure the naming is correct... Anyone know anything bout this plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Plants can vary a lot under different growing conditions. I suspect the first one may be Echinodorus cordifolius (used to be called radicans), and the second may be Hygrophila corymbosa stricta but it is unusually compact and this can be caused by having a lot of blue light.

phoenix44 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I don't think the second one is stricta. The nodes are not right. I would say a ludwigia species. kind of looks like glandulosa minus the red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Isn't the first pic a banana plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuglyDragon Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'd say cordifolius for the first and a ludwigia sp. thats been grown emerged for the second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 First one could be banana plant too. The leaves are a bit small for cordifolius. You are probably right with the Ludwigia, the lack of red threw me, although they are red emersed as well (or mine were). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right with the Ludwigia, the lack of red threw me, although they are red emersed as well (or mine were). There is a reddish tint to the naked eye, the pic doesn't show this so perhaps that one is Ludwigia? I have my fingers crossed that the spearwort/banana type plant doesn't grow too tall and copes with trop temp ... too bad if it don't!
