Looking for Ammania Senegalensis - Aquarium Advice

Anyone have any of this red beauty they can spare? Can't find it for sale. Have some Crypt Parva I can trade. Thanks.

I wish I knew where to find the stuff man. You might look into the Nesaea sp. "Red" that lowcoaster sells on Aquabid if you're into that sort of thing. Very similar (maybe an Ammania species, no one is sure at this point) and it's brilliant magenta red. One of the hardest plants I've ever tried to keep. But, dang, it's pretty

Thanks Travis. If you have had trouble with it, I don't think I'll bother. Also just received an e-mail from Tropica. I sent them an e-mail asking about this plant.(yes, they actually answered back!) Ammania Senegalensis is not allowed by Agriculture Canada into this country.

I believe it is noxious in the US as well
