VINZ FISH Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I just added these new freshwater plants to my aquarium and I can't figure out what they are because they weren't labelled at animates.please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 2. looks like a crypt but you won't get a positive ID on what type unless you let it flower. Getting it to flower means you will most likely need to grow it emerged.3. looks like a clump of hair grass. If it is hair grass you are best to split it up and plant it as individual stems/roots so you get better coverage.1. may also be a crypt. Price should tell you - the above plants are generally more expensive than the stem plants sold in shops - most of which are grown emmersed and do not always convert to submersed very easily, if at all.

alanmin4304 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 1&2 look like crypts and 1 may have been grown emersed. The leaves on each may melt but remove the dead stuff and theroots may gro new submersed leaves. The third is hairgrass that has been grown emersed (common commercially---has seed heads) Will mainly die if left in a large clump as it will not get enough light. Spread it out in to small bunches of half dozen and it should start throwing runners. livingart and VINZ FISH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 1. Unfortunately it's too hard to tell, but it's a crypt species (emersed growth)2. Looks like what's often sold as "Cryptocoryne retrospiralis" (emersed growth)3. Emersed hairgrass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
