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...

(Richmond) wrote in message . com...
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. Liisa 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 Dominic (At Work) 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. Robert Hudson www.aquabotanic.com |

Aqua wrote in message ... I am a very poor photographer. I tried my best. http://www.dlink.org/aqua/image/Rotala_macranda.jpg 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. Robert Hudson |
