OK I bought this plant probably 2 months ago and seems fine. However looking through many pages of plants I cant ID it.

It has a pinkish steam.

 

[JasonG75]

anyone?

 

[JasonG75]

I'm really interest to find out what it is..

 

[Centromochlus]

Emersed Ludwigia, possibly Ludwigia palustris?

 

[Axelrodi202]

I initially thought an emersed plant too. But the OP mentioned that they've had it for 2 months, so that's not likely.

 

[JasonG75]

I don't think it's this version ludwigia because it really isn't stem based. It's low and compact. It has a base where many stem come off.

 

[Axelrodi202]

Emersed stem plants tend to grow in that fashion. But the fact that this has been in the tank really throws me off. Maybe a Hygrophila of some sorts?

 

[JasonG75]

If it wasn't rooted into the dirt I'd pull it for a better pic, however this root structure is not like a stem plant. This thing has some roots.

 

[JasonG75]

Thanks to the poster below me HE bought the same thing I have

SO what is it?

 

[Rainer]

Saururus? Hard to tell from this phone screen.

 

[Tinanti]

An Alternanthera. Possibly not an aquatic one.

 

[Jericho199]

I think it is Alternanthera reineckii. See my response to the other poster here

 

[they call me bruce]

Its Alternathere Ammannia south america grows to 20 inches 72 -82 needs a boost of iron once in a while to keep it red plus strong light--I just bought it yesterday

 

[Robert H]

it doesn't look like Ammania or Alternanthera to me. Alternanthera is dark red or purple emersed, and the stems when above water are covered in knobby seed things. Still need better photos of the stems and leaves.

Could be Hygrophila corymbosa species, or Gymnocoronis spilanthoides. If you got it at a store in the USA, it is more likely to be something common. Both these plants are common in the USA pet trade.

Hygrophila corymbosa "cherry leaf", or H. stricta, Nomaphila stricta, "Giant Hygro" or "Green Temple" are all the same plant. The leaves can get a pinkish color sometimes under bright light and in young leaves.
