Lucid Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone out there can tell me what these plants are, I was told when I bought them what they were but between the store nd home promptly forgot :oops: 1. http://photobucket.com/albums/v113/Ball ... dplant.jpg 2. This one is the one between the driftwood and the heater, quite a tall plant that came out of the cold water tanks but I have been assured it will thrive in the warmer water of a tropical tank. http://photobucket.com/albums/v113/Ball ... eenone.jpg 3. This is a mystery plant that has just appeared in one of my tanks. http://photobucket.com/albums/v113/Ball ... ystery.jpg 4. And this i am pretty certain is Cyprus, but thought I might just check here first. It is the taller of the two grassy looking plants in the front there. http://photobucket.com/albums/v113/Ball ... Cyprus.jpg 5. And this is the full tank that the plants are in, just waiting for the plants to frow out and cover the back of the tank and also still toying with ideas for the tank backing. http://photobucket.com/albums/v113/Ball ... 1ea748.jpg Thanks all for your time in advance. I have posted links as the images are quite large on these as it shows the leaves and structure alot better. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 When I click on them I only see a very small pic so can't tell one plant from another. Did you link to the large sized pic or just the thumbnails in the album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingBird Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Whatever number 2 is, I have some as well. It's grown about 5cm in the week since I bought it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverJohn Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Not sure on the name of #3 but i think its the same as something I bought about 2 months agoIt was sold as a sword and came with big long (10cm) stalks and a single leaf on the end of each stalk, It got really scummy, so i pruned it back quite hard only a couple of weeks after putting it in the tank I took a pic of what one of them looks like now, after 6 weeks... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/DiverJohn/Fish_Dec04_004.jpg It was the black veins on the leaves of your plant, that I noticed first. And as you can see mine is similar. Is this black veiny look normal? If not does anybody know what causes it? How to fix it? Then again Ballistic I could be COMPLETLY wrong....

Warren Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 They are two different plants. Ballistic's is most likely an Amazon Sword (Echinodorus amazonicus) and Diver John's is a Rose Amazon Sword (Echinodorus osiris). Ballistic's plant is still a little small to properly identify and at this stage could be one of about 3 sword plants. In a month or so once it grows some more it will be easier to properly identify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverJohn Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Balistic, forgot to ask. In pic #5 (and i think its in #4 too), at the right hand end of your tank you have a group of plants that look as tho the are on a single stem with a large leaf - what is it called?

Lucid Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi Diverjohn, the plant you have mentioned I beleive it to be Amazon Sword (Echinodorus amazonicus) so it there fore is highly likely that the mystery plant that appeared from nowhere is also one of thede B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
