Bandi Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) HI all, hope all you aqua plant people can help me. I bought this plant at an auction over a year ago and I have no idea what it is. I am the first to admit I know as much about aquarium plants as Bob Barker knows about operating a zoo. So any suggestions would be helpful. The plant is really short, only about 3 inches tall. The fish in the photo are only about one inch (just to give you a size reference). The plant must be propagating through roots under the gravel as it is indeed spreading. It is growing under common shop lights (floresent bulbs). It grows slowly but it seems to be doing well dispite the poor lighting conditions. Edited October 17, 2012 by Bandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 It might be stunted Tiger Val, or it might be something else. I've seen a carpet plant like that around that stays short even in high light/tech tanks. Nobody ever seems to have a name for it when I ask - I've only seen on display at Big Al's and PJs.
