Is this a kind of Hygro?

[dapellegrini]

This one came along with a shipment of shrimp and was not looking to hot when I got it... Just them same I decided to see if I could turn it around and it is now doing quite well... Anyone know what this is?

If you mean the light green (I assume the plant most hit by the flash or reflection) that is dead center and slightly down and to the left, then I would say it looks very much like hygro. Probably not sunset (look at the veins), but its possible. My hygro is sunset, but only very near the surface when the nitrAtes are low does it become reddish. Most of the time it looks just like yours.

Can you get a better pic of it?

 

[dapellegrini]

7Enigma - yes that's the one.

rkilling1 - It is kinda hard to get a good picture of it where it is. The top of the larger stem is starting to show a bit of pink, but it is nowhere near the top of the tank yet. Still very small. Here are a couple of top-down shots:

Looks a bit like ceylon to me.

I agree with 7Enigma and Jchillin, that it is a form of Hygrophila polysperma.

Positive ID as Hygro. Reading up on Ceylon on Tropica sounds like that may be the one... Thanks!

It looks like regular Hygro polysperma to me. I have some Ceylon as well as the regular and its leaves are skinnier than that. Could be Ceylon, but with wider leaves, though I'm leaning more towards regular polysperma.

my vote is regular green hygro

Ceylon has long skinny leaves

Hard to say until it grows out more. Does not look colorful enough to be ceylon. It is either unhealthy ceyon, or very healthy regular green hygro.
