Hi DeAnna - Nice to hear from you again. Wuz just thinking about you the
other day. My food is getting a little low. Was it Sho Koi you were using?
Thanks for the post offer. I just went ahead and opened a freebie account
on web shots. Unless the nag screen becomes too much that should be fine
for my light usage Thanxx
Bill

Sorry, I will figure out how to post pix one of these days. A little
more
of the thousand words I didnt say. Looking at the hornwort picture - It
has
a main stem then little branches with clumps of fine leaves/spines.
This
has no branches. Imagine just one of those fine spines growing from the
much more substantial stem. They are quite stiff and do not lose form
like
the Cabomba (sp?) or probably hornwort would. And whereas the hornwort
appears to have 5 or 10 spines growing from virtually the same spot,
mystery
plant has but one, then an eighth of a inch or so in all directions
another.
Thanxx

That was my first guess till I saw a picture. The 'needles' are
similar
but
much sparser, much stiffer and are only growing from the base stem.
Do
not
how to describe it. If this was a pothos ivy you would have the main
stem
then a little stem growing off that connected to the leaf. This has
the
nice substantial main stem (1/4" round or so) but the individual
needles
grow only from it, and although growing relatively symetrical all
around
the
stem, each 'needle' is probably 1/8" or so from the next. The stem
looks
very similar to the parrots feather and is much larger than the pic of
the
hornwort. Would you like to try the Aquatic Plants for $200 square?

Hmmmm,
I'll guess first and guess hornwort.
check this picture

and see if it matches.

Subject: submerged plant identification
Hi all - I was recently given some parrots feather. Mixed in with it
is
other plants which look very similar at the stem but the leaves are
very
thin 3/4 - 1" needles growing all around the stem. No
'branches'.They
are
not bunched together in any way. Just fine thin needles, not very
dense,
growing all around the base stem. Similar to needles on a pine tree
but
thinner. This is probably a common submerged plant. Can you tell me
what
it
is?
Thanxx
