    some plants I took photos off at fuwo aquarium






    there are two plants here, the one of the left is supposed to crawl on the ground, so I'm testing 4 stalks at the moment, the one on the right was going for $20/stalk which i was rather pracey at the moment..
    the pix got truncated during upload, guess I'll fix it later.






    Eriocaulon sp.

    I seem to have forgotten to upload "dragonclaw", another foreground plant..

    I like the one in the 1st picture. It's a forground plant? But looks like it can grow tall as well. Any idea?

    the one on the left should be rotala sp "goias".

    the one besides it is $20? i think its the same one i put up for ID. i got it cheaper from somewhere but he gave me shorter cuttings. supposed will turn purple and is a new plant from hongkong/taiwan.

    looks like an eustreralis stellata but a very red one...sure sp one.
    i agree it's pricey.

    the first one quite interesting leh. what is it?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Where are these available except for Fuwo? Thinking of ringing Teo's up to ask but I always have trouble telling them the scientific names...

    That huge 'underwater pandan plant' (the Eriocaulon sp., that's what I jokingly told the shop owner, haha... ) is not for sale leh... He is still trying to propogate it... Looks pretty impressive...

    Ranunculus suppose to be a medium height plant. But nowadays i see many ppl try to use it as a foreground by using strong lighting (like for glosso) so it crawl.

    For foreground i dont think it's so nice because the leave is quite big. If you visit Bioplast in their big tank they use this Ranunculus as foreground in some parts of the tank.

    Ranunculus used to be selling like $20 per stalk when it was new in SG. Now it's much much cheaper and i see it being sold in quite a number of LFS.
