    Am i right Felix?? Still learning, this names drives me nuts......

    The Vesuvius is something rare from Echinodorus..... some books i look do not have it labelled..... maybe this plants surfaced few years ago only..... just my guess, can be very wrong.

    Cork screw is easy to keep and undemanding..... can buy as nice background plant....

    Re: Echinodorus Vesuvius advaliable locally?


    Reference pages, there are further details there.
    http://www.floridaaquatic.com/aquari..._vesuvius.html
    http://mizuworld.com/index.php/product/detail/1474

    now we see the Vallis family Yany bro is selling.


    Reference sites, also further detail remain in the site.
    http://www.petfish.net/kb/entry/243/
    http://www.aquariumdomain.com/viewFr...eshwater_id=14

    I am looking at the 1st one mentioned.
    Reasons, cause the look after some google searching turns out it might not grow as tall as Vallisneria family nor E.tenellus which is popular.
    Plus point, it seems that it fans out more then E.tenellus. So i hope can try this plant and maybe cultivate it
    When take out of water (i believe emersed growth, yes believe means i cannot confirm as i have no experience pior to this thread.) it should look like the picture in the below link.

    Echinodorus suppose to be bog plants, so you should be right they can be emersed.

    The one that i have looks like yany type, but the picture you post quite different from mine..... attached.

    oops, sorry for the misinformation. Actually I have both of them in my previous tank. Let me share them for comparison.



    Foreground - Echinodorus Vesuvius
    Background - Vallisneria Spiralis

    Echinodorus has tigher twirls and thinner leaves. Hope I'm correct this time.

    Vallisneria is more normally growing taller then Echinodorus ... zonkie can confirm?
