Feb 23, 2013 #8 OP OP Morgan_got_fish Aquarium Advice Regular Joined May 21, 2012 Messages 67 Ehhh kinda similar in leaf type, but my plants have shorter leaves and more.

Can you elaborate on that, or get better close up shots? If I had to guess, aponogeton crispus is about as good a guess as any.

Feb 23, 2013 #12 aqua_chem Aquarium Advice Addict Joined Jul 28, 2011 Messages 6,935 Location Baltimore, MD Ok, took some footwork but I think I got it. Potamogeton crispus, which is a federal noxious weed.
