You referring to what's commonly know as APP? scientific name: Elatine triandra.
It's an easy plant-- rich substrate, good light, CO2 and good nitrate levels and you'll do fine.
Want to know about 'Ah Peh Plant'
Hi,
Would like to know what conditions favour their growth?? Anyone got experience in them?
What's the scientific name??

Yes. I agree with Fei Miao, I used to grow this plant too.

Can't seem to see the pictures. Looks like your image host does not allow external hot linking.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
yes. it's easy to grow and propagate. i tried once but grow too fast and gave away eventually. I grow without substrate fertiliser, but high CO2, high light and liquid fert
Sorry! Or you may also go to this thread:

Finally saw it.
Thanks!
Can this plant survive in a low maintenance non-co2 tank?
Hi,
I setup a 1.5ft no undergravel fertilizer, no CO2, with only 11W light tank for my daughter. It has 2 platies and 3 small angel fish.
I just put in some APP last night.
We'll know if the APP does OK in this tank in about 2 weeks. If they are good, I'll post a picture.
Meanwhile, keeping fingers crossed......

You can find the plant in AQ's gallery.
Do make use of the gallery since it is there for use.
Ms, the APP should start growing in a couple of day's time. IMO, it is a beautiful and seemingly easy plant.

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted!), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted!
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
they are nitrate hungry. they will spread very fast when given sufficient nutrients.

they looked alittle like glosso.
Does the plant requires high light to grow well?
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
no... its just really a nitrate hog
you'll need reasonable light level (>2wpg) else they will grow upwards.

dun think it can survive without CO2... mine was wipeout in weeks...
