jewels Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 This was un-labled when I traded for it @ the LFS. I have an idea of what it may be ,,, but,,, The folks in 'cichlid chat' have such a ball with their I.D. guessing game, and on account that I do not get to play because not once have I had any I.Dea so - why not ? :smokey: Plant nerds unite!

jvision Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Looks like Hygrophilla polysperma to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm going to guess that it's a Rotala species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewels Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 The plot thickens! I was think'n Ludwigia - of course there is @ least ten variants in that family , so the search continues. I find these are tricky to ID because of the fact that most of the google photos you find (of any plant) have just come in the door. Most of these are fresh out the nursery and still in the emersed form. That can make then appear completely different. This one was is in really rough shape. I have it in the intensive care unit. We shall see if it pulls through. :flex: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 A pic of it in the tank will make it easier to ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I didn't open the files the first time. After blowing it up for my son ("Is that a ray?") I'm inclined to go w. Rotala as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm thinking it could be a lobelia possibly too. Just my very humble opinion!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewels Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) OK OK that was shot thru the glass, thru the bag A pic of it in the tank will make it easier to ID. Very True- Fair enough. Didn't want to make it tooo easy. Seeing the over-all structure will surely help. It is still in the I.C.U. as I find the Ameca will not tolerate anything but a robustly growing plant Sorry F.C.♀. ( but congrats on joining the plant geek club ) not a cardinal plant - I deftly deaded one of those a while back!

aquatica Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 The Plant is most likely Ludwigia repens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Sorry F.C.♀.

Ichthyosporidium Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hmmm... I'd have to say Red Ludwigia. Either that or a type of Hygophyllia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
