I bought these online, I received and opened it, I saw 2 different plants

Are these HC, Hemianthus callitrichoides? Both or just one, and which one?
Thanks

The right is the HC that I know and love.

Dunno, looks odd.... i got emersed and immersed HC but neither look like that...?? Leaves look large and leggy, no roots along stem..?? Could it be wild HC...???

 

[bigstick120]

I dont think either are HC, it has very small leaves, even smaller emersed. Not sure what you have. Light green may be glosso. Dark green not real sure. Can you post a pic of the individual stems?

 

[Jeffww]

Right looks like emersed glosso and the left looks like something dying...Looks like half melted hc or something. Either way get your money back.

It looks like it is HM/pearlgrass/baby tears. Right is emersed, left is submersed from the look of it.

 

[shrimpNewbie]

^ yup, neither is hc =\

 

[shonick]

This is the one on the left, a very long one.

Those at the bottom are the one on the right

I bought these at [Ebay Link Removed]

So it is not HC?:icon_frow

thanks

 

[Bahugo]

No, it is HM. Did you buy Baby Tears not a trick question, can't see the ebay link if it is labeled baby tears that is what you got, dwarf baby tears is hc

He put title :BABY TEARS HEMIANTHUS CALLITRICHOIDES
description: You will recieve nice big baseball to softball size clumps of Dwarf Baby Tears. Some will have been grown above the water and some under water.

That is why I end up buying it.

Thank you.

hm is still a good carpet, very nice to hide fry =]

 

[shonick]

It seems to be hard to buy HC, since I did some search and a lot of people confuse on this, so the seller is. And here this seller.

I would try filing a complaint or contact seller and try too see if you can get your money back. Sorry that happened here is a picture of submersed HM that I have, it's hard to see the individual nodes but it has the more narrow leaf that looks present in your first picture:

giant baby tears

 

[Craigthor]

One is probably Hemianthus Micranthemoides (HM) THe other with round leaves is possible Micranthum Umbrosum (spelling) Both are know and sold as dwarf baby tears, dwarf baby tears is a common name that refers to multiple plants.

I just got another one. Is it HC this time?

Thanks

 

[ciscokid]

hard to tell without a size reference in the pictures, but the picture of it in the tank looks like hc to me.

what substrate is that? eco? flourite?

 

[Craigthor]

yep, ,that looks like waht you were after.

Craig

 

[bigstick120]

Looks like it.

 

[shonick]

here with the ruler for reference

in the following picture, the one on the right is new one(HC possible), the one on the left old one( HM possible, emersed one?)

By looking at it, I see it is very hard to distinguish. The leave of HM is bigger, but not making a difference, only bigger about 0.7 mm. The internode of HM is slightly longer, maybe 1.5 time?

Is that true HM overall bigger than HC about 1.5 time?

Thank you
