That's pretty funny.

Your tank is lovely btw!

Thank you. I hope it’ll look as good when im done redoing it. Would you be able to identify this plant? It came in a batch of stems marked ludwigia rotalia and was a stem with roundhouse leaves. It was fine then I trimmed it and all new growth came in like little thin leaves like that. Was it ludwigia? I ended up selling it because it shed like a saint Barnard and got every where.

It looks like a type of rotala or maybe myriophyllum, maybe. But I'm not near a computer to remember the variant of rotala I think it is. I'm almost certain that @Fish Folk,@Mmiller2001or @Torrey will know... Among several others. I'm close to hitting 1gb of mobile data usage. 😅

 

when you say it was dropping leaves, was that during conversion or even on the new growth?

Might be an Ammania, but I'm not sure.

It could be Ludwigia Arcuata? 

 

Edit: without co2 you will not get the red tones that are shown in most arcuata pictures.
