dan12boy Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hey y’all, I was in my backyard and saw this plant that I believe is just some random weed but I love how it looks and would like it better in my tank. Wanted to know if there’s any aquarium plants that look similar to it. Here it is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried growing it once in the past but sadly didn’t work out. I might’ve just been too impatient though so will probably try again in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow I change my mind it does look similar. Are this mainly root feeders? Tried them before but it didn’t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQ Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I think most plants perfer to feed from their roots but easily convert to feed through the water column. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Staurogyne repens is notably more difficult to grow than Bacopa carolinia. Repens likes much more light and tends to lose its lower leaves more readily if there isn’t enough light. It’s far from impossible to grow, but the Bacopa is easier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
