Ghengis Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Gonna take a stab and go with Rotala Mayaca and Rotala Wallichii... What was the prize, again?? For handy plant ID, check out Tropica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yeah, I thought Elodea at first, but the leaf shape and spread is not quite right. Rotala seems more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kojiro Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Rotala Sp. 'Green' and Rotala Wallichi. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitstyles Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Rotala Sp. 'Green' and Rotala Wallichi X2 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 There is a sp. "green"? LOL! How completely original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghengis Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think the leaves are too dense to be sp. "green"... Certainly not an expert, but check Tropica...the ''Nanjenshan'' (Mayaca) looks alot closer to the picture above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not an expert, but check Tropica...the ''Nanjenshan'' (Mayaca) looks alot closer to the picture above. Rotala Sp. 'Nanjenshan' has thinner leaves like this.

Queenserpentine Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 the bottom to me looks like a form of milfoil Fantastic but messy plant to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holycow Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 with higher light levels you'll get smaller leaves, but first pic it is rotala sp. green. if you have high light levels and lots of fertilizer you get coarser growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
