JJenna Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Came along for a new home with the Amano Shrimp I got. Anyone have a guess? It's only about 1.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Definitely interesting. Can you show the stalk or rhizome part? It looks like 2-3 things. Honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn anthony Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I'd say rhizome rot but looks a little thick, for any rhizome???????????? Ill be lurking around to see if any one can find out what it is (strange) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Looks like an Anubias rhizome that is regrowing. It’s leaves may stay small or may end up growing bigger as the plant returns to better health. It also looks like there may be some bits of other plants stuck on it. Maybe some moss, something from the Vesicularia group most likely. And maybe a couple tiny leaves from something else entirely (the thin, light green bits stuck on the rhizome). If those leaves are actually growing then the plant is very nutrient deficient. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJenna Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 I did a little picking at it and the stuff on the upper right that looks fern-like came away. I was left with the rhizome and the green roots. The roots weren't emanating from the rhizome but at the crown of it it. I trimmed and planted front and center in my tank; may get a better picture when I get some leaves that aren't torn up. The rhizome is only about an inch long. Honestly, it had the appearance of a carrot as far as the striations around the rhizome. I'll post if I get some new growth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
