Hydrocotyle verticillata
I think this plant is sometimes called pennywort.
http://www.tropica.com/productcard_1_popup.asp?id=039 Has anyone successfully used this as a foreground plant? I was persuaded to try this as a foreground plant by my LFS about three weeks ago and so far I am not satisfied with the results. I have it in a 55gal with DIY CO2 and 160W of lighting. This plant is not noticably growing at all and does not look very good. I think it would look good if I could persuade it to become much denser but I don't see this happening. If someome else has used it and made it look nice, I would be very interested in hearing from you. Pictures of a nice setup would be very helpful. If it seems other people haven't had luck with this I think I will scrap it and look for another plant (too bad I can't find glosso or riccia!). __ "Insert witty comment here." -John |

Hydrocotyle verticillata
I'm just gonna get rid of it. My cories are digging it up anyways as it
doesn't root very well in my tank. I don't know if it's possible to make it nice and thick (hard to tell in that picture) but if it is I assume it will take more work than I'd like...
