Hazara Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Pickup only, just hacked back my tank so have a large clump if anyone wants it.. Master plant purchased from a Rangiora LFS about a year ago - but I never cared to learn its proper name. Pickup today/possibly tomorrow night from Amberley, North Canterbury. [EDIT] forum didnt like my photo, will add another link.. http://imgur.com/a/AOvPh Edited November 20, 2016 by Hazara Updated photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmueller Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Kinda late to point this out, but this is Vallisneria spiralis (Twisted Eel Grass) THIS IS A NATIONWIDE BANNED PEST PLANT. ITS ILLEGAL TO POSSES OR COLLECT IT. https://aquariumworld.nz/plants/articles/banned-plants-r1/ I used to grow this stuff myself, and it's a wonderful aquarium plant, but that was in the USA, not in NZ. In Auckland you can find it at the beach, because it does quite well in saltwater - apparently including the Hauraki Gulf ;-) Edited August 30, 2017 by fmueller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Vallisneria spiralis gets its name because of the spiralling flower stem. The leaves may have a very slight twist but not to the extent of the plants in the picture. This plant is permitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmueller Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) The plant in the picture is exactly what you can find wild in the US, and what also grows in the Hauraki Gulf. No way that plant is permitted. It's a world wide problem, because it grows like wildfire, and blocks waterways. This plant might be permitted, but it's not what I see in the picture above.

alanmin4304 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 There are two types of twisted Val and one is more twisted than the other. The untwisted ones are the not permitted ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazara Posted October 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 LOL - I gotta post another photo before some keyboards get worn out... Its a lot different in water, and the stuff at the back of the tank can even get blown straight by the water pumps Excuse the crappy photos, I really dont think it was worth time getting the actual camera out. Ps theres heaps more again if anyone in nth canty wants any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmueller Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 OK, that looks very different from the 1st photo! Sorry, my bad, I got it wrong. Now here is a question. Do you ship to Auckland? Happy to pay of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazara Posted June 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Going to dig more out if anyone local wants some - willing to ship in exchange for carnivorous plants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
