Woah those are the the reddest plants I've seen in a while

What are the light req. for the Ludwigia?

**Tex Gal** · 07-04-2008, 04:40 AM

Don't ya just love 'em!

**cah925** · 07-04-2008, 04:53 AM

I have ~4 wpg over a 40 gal breeder for these plants.

**cah925** · 07-09-2008, 01:16 AM

Here's a few more pics from another tank. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the camera to capture how amazing this plant looks. This is the same plant from 3 different angles.

Great job! The leaves themselves look beautiful.....

Here's a few shots of the 2nd 40 gal tank. I just trimmed a few plants tonight so it will need some time to fill back in. Also still looking for a few more plants to add in.

**lauraleellbp** · 07-09-2008, 05:37 AM

Would you run down a list of all the species in there?

**cah925** · 07-09-2008, 05:53 AM

These are the ones that I can remember for tank #2-
Blyxa japonica
Ludwigia senegalensis
Hygrophila sp. 'Pantanal'
Hygrophila sp. 'Bold'
Ludwigia arcuata
Ludwigia brevipes
Mayaca fluviatilis
Rangeri swords
Flame moss
Willow moss
Fissiden fontanus
Pogostemon stellatus
Polygonum sp. 'Kawagoneum'
Rotala sp. 'Green'
Hygro 'Low Grow'
Crypt wendtii

I also have a few stems of an unknown Hygro and another very tiny specimen that I planted in hopes that it will grow so I can figure out what it is.

**cah925** · 08-05-2008, 06:31 PM

Here's a pic of the unknown plant from yesterday. At first I thought this was a Ludwigia of some kind, but now it's looking more like a sword (?).

A quick update on my 40B #2. This tank is way overdue for trim.

Current occupants are 2 otos. I would love to add some Pseudomugil gertrudae to this tank but I read they prefer a more brackish environment. I'm also interested in possible killis for this tank instead.

They look great; really nice pics!
