What plant is this?

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 Wow, how red! I have seen this red rotala only in pics and I'm more used in seeing the paler version, like in the first link you gave, in shop tanks. The color might have to do with the amount of light and iron-based fertilizers. My Rotala macranda looks like dominics: taller, less bushy and much redder than the photo at http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/show040/s046-0.html. The local and mail order shops I sell it too have all commented on the intense red color. One believes it is a slightly different subspecies, since it is less bushy and has longer distances between the nodes, while others think it is caused by my tank conditions. My tank has 0.1 ppm Iron, Flourite gravel, a good fert regimen, pH 6.4, KH2, GH2. |
