ronny Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 .A plant appeared in my planted tank a few months back and now i am trying to work out what it is. Cant get a pic as have no camera and phone pics dont want to upload. Basically it looks like a redder, smaller, finer version of Elodea and the leaves have a minor seration that looks more like a macadamia leaf. Any help greatly appreciated.

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hmmmmm..... maybe an ambulia or milfoil? Both can get red in high light/iron conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Nah not it. Will try and upload from my phone to photobucket and then accross to forum yeah it was just stab in the dark, i know that plant gets a round on this forum and it will literally grow from a stray leaf that might have accidentally dropped in your tank with other plants. so it was worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netty_3164 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hydrilla verticillata I'd say - description of 'redder, smaller, finer version of Elodea' and 'serrated leaves' matches well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
