I have a small ammount of contortionist Val . The picture is from a "plant" website and is definitely "vallisneria spiralis" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebelle Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Have you considered using Echinodorus vesuvius instead? [ATTACH=CONFIG]42324[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pony-tail Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 No I had not . How does it do in medium light - no CO2 , moderately hard 15dh , alkaline ph 7.5 to 8.2 water ? That is what comes out of my tap . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJ Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 The species Vallisneria spiralis included north american thin val and quite a few variants, such as contortionist val (V. spiralis f tortifolia or V. tortifolia depending which taxonomy you subscribe to). The "spiralis" part refers to the twisting of the female flower stalk not the leaf. Unfortunately all the vals seem to flower this way so the name doesn't help much.
