Ok. I know this probably has been a thread before and it's probably been asked a billion times already. But I just wanted to know from the general public what their favorite aquatic plant is.

Name a few! And pictures are always welcome too.

Aponogeton Ulvaceous.
You can see at least a part of it in the rear left corner of my tank - link:

I'm thinking Sagittaria subulata, or Dwarf Sag. It grows wicked fast and shoots out a great number of runners, which develop quickly. Sorry, I'm to lazy to grab a pic!

good old java moss i love the stuff!

 

[Eldachleich]

Water Lettuce. I love that stuff.. Water hyacinth is beautiful too...

 

[peyton]

Ludwigia glandulosa. One of my first "difficult" plants.

 

[treetom]

Ludwigia Repens (Red) Broadleaf.

 

[CobraGuppy]

Anubias ! All types. and crypts as well

 

[Senior Shrimpo]

Fissidens fontanus.

So zen. lol

 

[A.M. Aquatics]

Java ferns and all types mosses. So many ways you can plant and grow them!

 

[kamikazi]

blyxa is cool, crypts are probably my fav though

 

[jasonpatterson]

Ludwigia Repens (Red) Broadleaf.

+1 Attractive plant, super easy to grow.

i really love all Anubis varieties. It was my first love in my relationship with planted tanks years ago and will always have a special place in my heart. Now though I have begun to appreciate all the different types of crypts, the harder to find/grow types. I have quite a few rarities in the journal in my sig "crs/crypt playground.

But, for an all time single favorite plant I would have to go with Polygonum Sao Paulo. It add a beautiful red coloration to any tank and is about the best behaved stem I have ever kept. It grows pole straight up and down and can be made into a beautiful stand if you make it happy and have a little patience.

Wow. BEAUTIFUL plants.
And Thank you all for being so supportive of this topic!

bsmith, that's an awesome plant btw.

& ludwigia glandulosa is BEAUTIFUL too. I'd like to get some if I can get a hold of some.

I want to throw myrio mattogrossense in here

And some myrio tuberculatum 'red':

limnophilia aromatica (green plant in the pic)

I love my Scarlet Red Temple. The underside of the leaves have a gorgeous color and they are fun to watch at night because the leaves stand straight up like they are reaching towards the light!

+1 It's an incredibly beautiful plant.

And some myrio tuberculatum 'red':

Funny you should mention that...

I love my Scarlet Red Temple.

What's the scientific name?

 

[Studman0143]

What's the scientific name?

Umm, I'm pretty sure it is Alternanthera Reineckii. I'm not good with scientific names at all. I only remember what the labels said the more common names are. Although when I search 'Alternanthera Reineckii' it pulls up variations of this plant, but its the scientific name that fits it closest.

Wow I just bought some of these from petsmart. LOL! they sell it in an airtight package with agar gel to keep the plants from dehydrating + nutrition. I planted them outside in my outside tank... I hope they'll do fine
