ID this plant please

Can anyone tell me what type of plant this is. Thanks

I think it's moneywort. Anyone else with more knowledge than me have any opinions?

Looks like a bacopa, either caroliniana or monnieri. Probably caroliniana if it is in fact a bacopa.

Thanks for info, yes after googling Moneywort (Bacopa Monnieri) definitely think that's it. Anyone know how I can pinch these off to make them spread or if that's even possible. I am a complete newb with plants 6 tanks and this is my first planted one.

I believe each nodule where the leaves come out have the potential for roots.

Leave it attached to the main plant, pinch off leaves close to the stem but not so close as to damage the inside shoot next to the stem, think proper tree limb trimming, lay the plant down under the substrate horizontally, cover with substrate maybe 1/4 inch and wait a couple months for new plants. This works for garden variety Bacopa.

After you get some good roots on each segment and a size you like and you want to move some pieces, cut the stem between the nodules and replant.

i have a different type of bocopa, and with low light it would grow talk, but after i added liquid ferts it started to grow out. which is always good.

My Bacopa grows steadily. Yes I trim tops and after trimming bottom leaves of new stem, I replant.
