zerospel Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Just few pics of my tanks Here is my 4x2, I will soon add 2 or 3 discus in it... And this is my standard 4ft that I just completed tonight but I ran out of plants (only have hygros and wisterias left) so I gotta shop for some foreground plants tomorrow (Let me know if you have some) And this is my old pic of the 4x2... A pic of an unknown plant that I bought,the shop labelled it as mexican oak leaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Looking good The plant that you are referring to as Mexican oak leaf...is it the red one? If so, it looks like it may be Rotala wallichii to me... merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grungefreek Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Are u talking bout the red one in the bottom pic??? I dont think its wallachi, i saw a pic of something similar the other day, cant remember the name, ill keep looking for it. Its Not Didiplis diandra is it???? Looks similar, bit hard to tell from that picture Its definitely not "Mexican oak Leaf" which is "Shinnersia rivularis" and looks nothing like your red plant, but if your talking bout that green one behind the red plant, then it could be Mexican oak leaf http://www.tropica.dk/catalog/images/produ.../varenr053D.jpg (care of tropica.dk) 2.

zerospel Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yep its the red one in the middle, I thought its Didiplis diandra as well, but I saw a pic in aquabotanic.com it looks very similar, but if you look from the top the didiplis looks like "+" and mine looks like * if that makes sense lol Ive got Rotala wallichii its in the second pic,the reddish plant on the left and the leaves are very fine and hairy... Or it could be emersed form of wallichii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHL Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 If you have very bright lights, could be a Pogostemon Stellata; are the leaves serrated, and fleshy (rather than hard) stem? And is that an A. Crispus I see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerospel Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 The leaves are quite soft,but if its taken out of water the leaves dont fall down and if viewed from the top it looks like cannabis leaves its got that spikey things on the side sorry I cant explain properly. I just saw pic of P.stellata and does look like it,slightly different somewhat... And I bought that A.crispus looking plant as queensland lace.

PHL Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Does sound like the Pogostemon; in high light (which mine hasn't had for a while) and sufficient Fe, mine goes red. If that is indeed A. Elongatus, then it's a very nice one; mine does not ruffle as nicely (has white flowers, and does flower often now that it's established). But they also cross-breed quite easily (so I'm told).
