    Do you know name of this plant?



    Bought this two weeks ago, when emersed it has four leaflet shown above.
    After submerged the leaflet turn brown(which i cut it off). Glosso like leave grow and crawl on the gravel as shown above from the same root.

    As compared to glosso, the leaf is darker, rounder and faster growing rate.

    Marselia quadrifolia.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Could also be Marselia Crenata too.... An indication on the size of the emersed leave may help.
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Ben, looks like Marsilea, just got some from Budak last week, put them in my office tank, not much movement yet.
    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.

    Should it be Marselia Crenata or Marselia quadrifolia? But i supposed they're of the same fern family

    Quadrifolia is found in Europe

    Crenata is found in Thailand and Asia, should be this one as Teo mentioned that he got it from M'sia

    It's growing pretty well in my tank without CO2.

    I've spare since i only used it on my 1ft tank.
    Any takers? Office hour Cityhall or after office hour Pasir Ris

    grown these once, found them a nuisance.

    a) looks ugly.
    b) when 1 leaf infected by algae, you accidentally pull on it and the whole foreground comes out. so cutting it is the way to go... (oh yeah..cutting algae'd leaves out one by one is just great for training your patience)
