Sandovalsbco Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Help me ID this plant please. I bought it from petco a while back and I save it in my phone but my phone broke so I lost the name. Thanks shrimp spot !

sarah Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Looks like Hygrophila corymbosa to me, but I'd let the experts chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Definitely a Hygrophila, just not sure what var. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Why's that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have a narrow-leaved version, Hygrophila corymbosa 'angustifolia'. I love that it grows so fast and really sucks up nitrates, but I don't love that it outcompetes some of my other plants, making it hard for them to get nutrients. And I hate that it grows so fast and in such a haphazard way that it makes my tank look very messy if I don't prune regularly. I am actually planning to hack it way down tonight, it's blocking so much light. My skittish tetras love it though! So much hiding space.

You can see pics of it in the back right corner of my tank here: http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/topic/5727-light-for-low-tech-tank/?p=72880 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. F Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 It might also be Nomaphila siamensis! But H. corymbosa and it look very similar! I'd Google pics of both and compare the leaf and stem structures to yours. [emoji1303] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
