Greenteam Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 So I was looking for a nice new plant for my tank and I stumble across this little gem. I found a pics of people with it in their tanks so I know it will grow in our tanks I just need you guys to help finding a source now lol. It's called "LUDWIGIA SEDIOIDES" Info: A floating leaf, marginal aquatic perennial grown as an annual. Red and green diamond-shaped leaves in rosettes (3-6” wide) float on the surface. Watch for small cup-shaped yellow flowers (2”) in summer. Very easy growers, these plants are great for surface coverage and algae elimination. They also provide protection for Koi and other fish from predators. Pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVT Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I wonder how big they get and if it's a cold water plant. Time to read up on it. v1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allicat Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow that is beautiful! If it is commonly used in koi ponds then it should be a cold water plant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
