    Hi guys



    Anybody knows what is the name of the plant and the growth requirements of the plant in the middle. Bought it from Y618. It actually shot up 1/3 in height in just two days. This pic was taken on Monday night 10th Nov and you guys can see that it is shorter than Rotalla. But today, it was the same height as Rotalla.

    Can't really confirm the ID but it looks like Hygroryza aristata.

    If it is, it's actually a floating grass species.

    If it's Hygroryza aristata, then i think it should be left floating instead of being rooted.

    Hi guys

    Picture taken on Thursday 13th Nov. The plant has surpassed the Ludwiga plant already

    I've seen it in pictures as a floater too. Stalks are fat and buoyant.

    Hmm...ok...seems like it is really the floating plant...let me post some more pics one it reaches the surface of the water. Should be in a few days time as this is really a fast grower.

    If it is a floater plant, but grows so fast being "planted" in fishking's tank, what will happen if it remains planted?
