It's Rotala, probably Rotundifolia.
Plant ID Help
Hey guys,
I have a plant in my 220 gallon planted tank that I have been playing with for awhile, but I have no idea what it is. I have it growing in a few places. One spot I have kept trimmed and have created a "carpet" effect. Another spot I have left alone, and it has shot to the top of the tank and has created a large red/orange/green tangled bunch on the surface.
It is a fairly fast growing stem plant, and it starts off green at the base, and gradually picks up pink/orange tones as it grows taller.
I have dug through the plant database (All Plants - Plant Profiles), and the only two plants I noticed that look similar are Dwarf Hygrophila and Rotala sp Macrandra, or possibly another variety of Rotala.
If anyone knows what this is, please help me out. I have included several photos of it growing in my tank.
