Tom H Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I'm hoping someone can identify and add a little advice on some plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi there! The red plant appears to be Alternanthera Reineckii. Red plants are more difficult to grow "optimally" without high tech or co2 but they do grow, just not as red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) If top, second, and third down are the same, I'll go with Ludwigia Palustris. Fourth one down looks like Hygrophilia. Bottom is Anacharis. (If you keep adding plant images, these numbers will be off) Each appears to be a stem plant. If grown rooted, they will appreciate regular dosing with Easy Green plant fertilizer, and a tank that is not too deep. in order for light to reach them. If floated in a mass on top, they'll feed off the water column, and send out stringy roots over time. Edited July 16, 2021 by Fish Folk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I was thinking your 3rd plant is some sort of background plant (tall), possible a species of Rotala but @Fish Folk is probably right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I float my cardinals and ludwiga in a no tech just hugger light no fertz and they thrive and are dark red and purple. 😁 (ignore my feet please) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 That's a good idea @Guppysnail I'll have to keep that in mind. Mine is actually doing fine as far as I'm concerned if it only ever looks like this but stays alive I'll be good with it. I'm lower than low tech hehe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I tie mine to a very tall decor item. I don’t root anything in substrate. I either float tie or jam in a hole in decoration and let roots do their thing. I don’t even use fertz just snail poo 🤣 I have surprisingly great luck with plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
