Minanora Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I saw this in a review of my LFS.... This person had them order a plant for them but she didn't say what it is and it's so delicate looking and beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 looks like a plant @Mmiller2001 has in his tanks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minanora Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 @xXInkedPhoenixX I see that on @Mmiller2001's cover page, what a lovely scape! and all that beautiful Red stemmed Myrio in the background. I have those and they grow prolifically in my tank. One of my favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Nymphoides hydrophylla 'Taiwan' 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle_Aquarist Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Hi @Minanora, It is Nymphoides hydrophylla (aka Nymphoides sp. Taiwan). It is not difficult to grow with good conditions. Medium light, good fertilzer(s) but it does not need CO2. Grows in acid or alkaline water. It can get large, especially with CO2, I have had it grow as tall as 20". I have grown it for over 10 years and periodically sell plantlets to our local fish store. -Roy Edited November 6, 2021 by Seattle_Aquarist 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minanora Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 It's totally going into my 75G. It may crowd out my Val... but that's okay! I can, and will, move some Val for this beauty! How much current does it prefer? Is it beautiful and wispy under a moderate flow or is it best suited for a calm area of the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Minanora, Not too much current of the stems will twist together like a rope; just light current is good. I usually judge plants this way, thin narrow leaf plants can tolerate high current while broad leaf plants typically seem to do better in slower current. Nature's way of adapting! If you would like a plant (snail-free) I will be glad to send you one for the price of USPS Priority Mail. -Roy Edited November 7, 2021 by Seattle_Aquarist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can send you a list of what's in my tank as well, if you're interested in anything I have. I'll message you my information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
