the photo at http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/show040/s046-0.html.

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...

Is this some kind of trick question? Because the right answer is WRITTEN on
the tank in the pic! :-) Rotala macranda, just like the text there says.

First I should admit I did not see the written markings, and that was
embarrassing.

Second I have 4 bunch of R. macranda in my tank and nothing is similar
to the one on the picture. Mine is here
http://www.dlink.org/aqua/image/rotala_mac.jpg

Anyway Thank You

Sorry Dominic, but you don't have Rotala...I can't believe nobody else
caught this, but thats Sunset Hyro, Hygrophila polysperma var sunset.
Rotals mac is what is in the picture from Ricky Cain. It can be very
dark blood red, or the varigated type which is green and red. Yours is
Hygrophila. Rotala mac is difficult to grow and very
sensitive...Sunset Hygro is one of the easiest plants in the world to
grow...you practically have to stomp up and down on it to kill it.
Ricky is an old pro at growing plants and has bought a lot of plants
from me.

I am a very poor photographer. I tried my best.

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...


Well it doesn't look like any Rotal mac I have ever see. If its not
Sunset Hygro, it must be something else. Albany Aquarium gets their
plants from Oriental Aquarium in Singapore, and I havn't seen anything
in their catalog that looks like it. Unless he got this from some
special friend of his like his Micro Anubias nana. I have gotten
Rotala mac from Oriental, and its just like any other Rotala mac.
