Aaron-Betta Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 brought a small plant a while back and forgot all about it, now it seems that neglecting my tanks has made it really take off and now its taking over. I was wondering if someone could ID it for me so i know what I'm dealing with. Thanks (the red one if you couldn't guess lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 http://www.fnzas.org.nz/?p=923 E. horemani would be my guess but in saying that I am no expert on Echinodorus species. Alanmin should see this in the morning and my guess is he will know. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Could be horemani, red special or ozelot. Depends a lot on growing conditions and ferts. Probably horemani going by the veination---one advantage is that it is one of the few swords that does not like growing emersed so you don't need to convert them.

alanmin4304 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 It is too. I was getting confused over who owned that veination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 cool, thank you guys for the ID :thup: Do you recommend I move it to a bigger tank now before it gets much bigger? I dont dose with special ferts, just use a bit of leafzone every second week. And not under grunty lights, just the normal AR380 hood light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 It'll get bigger than your tank one day :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 good excuse to buy a bigger tank :thup: pity I have 15 small tanks, getting permission to buy a bigger one may be hard work :digH: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup42 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ive got one going at the back of the tank. It's partially shaded by Some tall Stem Plants and the Little bugger is still growing quite quickly. The idea was to try to slow / retard it's growth a bit.
