CJs Aquatics Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Can anyone identify this plant for me please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clownbaby Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 looks most like a member of the callitriche family (water starworts.) Is this a temperate tank? What is the temperature set to? Could also be a member of the bacopa family, but unsure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjoma Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 My first guess is ????? My second guess is bacopa. My third guess is ludwigia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 (edited) @clownbaby ive never heard of that one actually, temp is set to 78. @Ninjoma I’ve owned some of all of those so any could be possible but whatever this is has been thriving by accident. I noticed this tiny stringy plant growing in the tank and thought it was some nuisance like bladderwort. When I upgraded the light whatever it is it has completely changed in appearance and really started to grow floating. I like the look of it so was hoping to ID it to be able to decide how I want to grow it going forward. Edited August 30 by CJs Aquatics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most can grow veryyyy variable depending on conditions. Underwater leaves look like bacopa, but floating leaves look moreso like dwarf water lettuce mixed with duckweed. Depending on the temperature the growth can vary too. I've grown some in my aquarium before, they grow very rapidly in higher temperatures but look better in a temperate aquarium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
