I picked up two sets of these colored plants from my LFS.. Any idea what they are ? The red ones in the back and those tall purple/pink ones ?
Those tall stringy pink/purple ones shed like crazy tho when I first got em and put in the tank like 100 leaves fell off, and still do if I grab and mess with it.. But I think that's normal for that plant I dunno.Limnophila hippuroides does shed when first introduced to a tank if the new tanks lighting and water parameters are a lot different than where they came from BUT once acclimated to a tank they only shed if they aren't in sufficient light. They can still grow in lower light but they will become more leggy and scraggly looking. I've kept this plant for years and grow it in several tanks but in order for it to look its best with its best color it needs at least a medium high light, good ferts, and at least liquid carbon.
