I know you listed your plants for that tank, but I don't know which one that is - and I think the effect is stunning. Please let me know!

Thanks! Kathy
Ask questions ! I do it all the time.
The plant is called "Limnobium laevigatum", a floating plant with flat leaves.
The roots can be rather long and the plant grows fast with enough PO4 and NO3. It can be held in summertime in a pond.

They are "Cyperus helferi", small bright green leaves. Plant likes some peat near the roots.

I bought this one as "Echinodorus horizontalis". It was a very small plant with round green leaves and supposed to stay small. I planted it on 7th januari, and now it has rather tall leaves already .
So I can be wrong here and the redish leaves are strange for Ech. horizontalis.

Thanks all for the
