Yet another plant ID. - Aquarium Advice

SeanMurphy · 01-23-2007, 09:25 PM

Got another plant at the pound today. Wondering if anyone can ID it for me. Keep in mind it's pretty ragged and has been under low light for a while.

Also, just for fun:

the first two i believe are a type of milfoil... are the stems red??? if so i think it is Eurasian Milfoil (some lakes around here have it, it is a highly invasive species)

The stems are kind of pinkish orange.. Like I said, it's been in low light for a while. Invasive, huh? I'll make sure none of it gets anywhere it shouldn't. Thanks for the tip.

Edit: I should read the WHOLE document before pointing out things. Yes, that looks like it

I imagine by summer I'll have all I can handle in my tank

I think I've reached maximum number of plants in my tank at this point. I've got 8 different species in my 30G, along with some stonework and driftwood. Any more plants and it's going to get too crowded for fish to move.

Myriophyllum matogrossens, in German it is Rotes Tausendblatt which translates to "Red thousand-sheet".

Here is some in my nano tank:

I ended up dumping this plant, it is a weed, and gets a bit messy. There is no doubt however that it can achieve a very nice rusty sort of color.
