Help ID this Aponogeton

[juggler]

Referring to the big green plant which is probably 2ft long now.
I was told this is Aponogeton rigidifolius. Is it right? Any ideas?



Close up on the leaf.

Its an Aponogeton Giantus SP.........

[juggler]

Is it a joke, David?
Maybe it is Aponogeton titanus?

[David]

Joking lah......but its a very nice plant.....where did you get it from?

[ranmasatome]

Woa...its huge....wont that block out a lot of light?

KF, very natural in your tank... don't remember seeing that tank before... new?

[juggler]

It's the tank sent for ADA and AGA competitions this year. Given a heavy trim down in early Nov.




The same tank in Sep'04

The plant was given by Jason (WKS) as Aponoeton rigidifolius. That time was shorter than the A. reineckii. It grew big very quickly after I insert a Horti plant stick near its roots.

I like the left portion of yr sept layout and the right portion of the nov

Something like that?

Wow! even your doctored tank picture looks great.

hi what moss is that in the background? thanks...

[rijac]

btw.. it does look like rigidifolia - its a strong leaf aponogeton (not so transparent/lacy)

see pictures of various aponogetons..

Oh yes! Definitely!

KF, could your plant be Aponogeton ulvaceus?

That is Christmas Moss. Too bad it is contaminated with Riccia.

Ronnie: Aponogeton ulvaceus has much wavy leaves. I had that before. I think I will stick to Aponogeton rigidifolius as suggested by Rijac. I found a close resemblance to this pic found from http://www.azgardens.com/apons.php
