    Hi Bro, need help to confirm plant ID

    1) Plant A, no idea what it is, the plan leafs are closed during light off and open during light on. I got 7 stalks initially, 3 of them melted starting from bottom. Does this plant need special care?

    2) Plant B, is it rotala sp? Very tiny leaf compare to HM leaf and the back.

    3) Plant C, is it glosso?

    My tank spec:
    2ft tank,
    55W 8hrs a day
    3bps CO2
    26~28 degree C
    EI dosing
    ADA aquasoil Africana

    Hi

    Plant A is likely to be asian ambulia and not cabomba (even though at a glimpse the two plants looks alike). It is supposedly to be easy to grow, perhaps it melts because you get it as submersed plant (which might be a bit more sensitive). The half submersed form is much more hardy with short, hairy leaves.

    I can see roots coming out from mid high on stem but somehow the melted plants does not grow any roots.

    Plant B was once called Rotala sp 'Mini'... Not sure what is the correct name now. Very nice plant...
