How do you tell the difference between a green and a red melon sword. I know it sounds like a wierd question but i recently bought a "green" melon sword and the new leaves that are coming in are "red" even in low light. I know the red one does this, but do the green melons do this? Did they sell me a misidentified plant.

clownloachfan,

I would assume that there must have been a mistake, I think the green sword should have mostly green leaves, also when they grow in.

I did a quick web search and here is a link to A Red One]http://ericschreiber.com/aquarium/images/plant-redmelonsword.jpg[/link] and there is a link to [link=A Green One]http://www.aquariumgarden.com/images/plants/plantref/72.jpg[/link] (sorry, couldn't find a better one - [link=Here is another bad one).

How does your's look like?
