Second I have 4 bunch of R. macranda in my tank and
nothing is similar to the one on the picture. Mine is here

That's easy - it's because you're plant is NOT Rotala macranda.

What you have is a variety of Hygrophila polysperma known as "Rosanervig" or
"Sunset" (locale dependent)

OK - I see it now.

I was thinking I'd not seen this form before, but I *do* seem to recall it
looking like this when I received my very first plant. So I gotta ask what
are your tank and lighting parameters?

I just trimmed mine, so there's not a lot to see right now. Give them a
couple of days and I'll post a coupke shots to alt.binaries.aquaria...

my city!


Maybe it's time to open one!

Guess where did I get mine from? From you only Dave. I got it during
October '02. My water parameters also same as yours except KH4 and

GH5.

Dominic,

I recently shipped some to Dwight at Florida Driftwood.
(http://www.floridadriftwood.com). He suggests that it's a different

color
varient, or even a different species, based on the aforementioned

differences.

I got mine originally from Albany Aquarium in Albany California (just

north of
Berkeley) in February 2002. When I traded them some last week, they

pointed out
the bright red color. Then we did a search of the shop, and noticed both
distinct varieties for sale in different tanks : the denser, less-red

variety,
and the taller, redder kind.

So I can make the informal observation, based on one uncontrolled data

point,
that the two varieties seem to stay different even when kept in similar
conditions in the same store. But you could poke a lot of holes in that
statement!

BTW, Albany Aquaruim has more than 20 tanks filled with healthy plants

for
sale...
