bensaf Fish Master Posts: 1978 Kudos: 1315 Registered: 08-Apr-2004	First one is Bacopa Caroliania Second is Echnidorous Parviflorus "Tropica" Labelled as L. novae, but novae is supposed to have circular leaves? Confused by this. Pygmy swords including L.novae zealandae have have blade like leaves not circular ones. The last 2 photos, one is of a bushy plant I don't recognise that may either be a non aquatic or an emmersed hygro, the second does look like L.novae or at least one of the pygmy spcies, they're hard to tell apart. Not sure which plant you are referring to. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003	Thanks for the replies! Bensaf, I do think it's L. novae now (the grassy plant) since I looked at the wholesaler list and this was the only Lilaeopsis species listed. Hmm Superlion, I thought crispus only has green leaves?

bensaf Fish Master Posts: 1978 Kudos: 1315 Registered: 08-Apr-2004	Ah,I see how you have it worked now. Pic #1 = Cryptocorene Balansae Pic#2 Bacopa Caroliania Pic#3 Echinodorous Parviflorus "Tropica" Pic #4 Don't know. Quite possibly non aquatic or an emmersed grown Hygrophilia.It's definately not aquatic growth. Keep an eye on it. pic #5 L.novae zealandae Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Number four looks to me like Nomaphila stricta, sold in the hobby in the UK under the name "Giant Hygrophyla". This page should prove helpful. Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003	Thanks Cal! It does fit the description of the Often sold as emersed growth which has smaller coarser leaves with a purple tinge since the new leaves look more tender and greener and bensaf's guess of an emersed hygro.

inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003	Edited by inkodinkomalinko I looked at our distributor's list and the plant was listed as "Nomaphila Siamensis Dwarf", which i'm guessing is an emersed giant hygro edit: Here it is http://www.tropica.com/default.asp. It's actually doing the best in my tank
