Free micro swords

GeekBoi · 01-31-2011, 03:39 AM

Well my micro swords have been sprouting like mad in my 29. I have a good handful that I pulled this afternoon during weekly maintenance if anyone in the North Metro to Fort Collins area would like them.

lol I started with one in my ten gal. when I went to rescape after going high light, I pulled about fifty of these monsters out.

I wish we could get a better species ID on these because as Noahma posted they are one of the most prolific plants in my tanks. Micro chain swords was the name on them when I purchased them but over time they can top out at the surface in a tank.

that looks like dwarf sagittaria, not micros swords

+2 on the dwarf sagitaria. They dont stay so "dwarf" and send runners all over. I once had a tank with a dozen that was completely filled in a year.
