whats going on with this plants?

[Fromthelbc]

So i took a look in my tank yesterday and i saw a very long stem growing straight up, today i saw that it had a leaf. its pretty big, it goes from the bottom of the tank to the top.

some plants grow tall in a response to a low light...its effort to get more lights...
maybe this is it?

 

[Fromthelbc]

no, it gets plenty of the light...

 

[susankat]

Probably a type of nymphea. Is it a bulb at the bottom of the tank?

 

[Fromthelbc]

maybe, i'll have to take a look at it, it has to be something from i got from mgamer...

aponogeton crispus

[Fromthelbc]

hmm, the leaf got bigger, its just keeps growing... it looks pretty cool.

It is sending up a pad to the surface, like a lily. All of mine do it.

Hi TG, haven't seen you since the old ERU days.

Hi TG, haven't seen you since the old ERU days.

Hey there! I have been off the grid, for sure, but try to stop in from time to time. Still have Endler's coming out the wazoo, but have managed to talk Deb into taking quite a few of them off my hands.

 

[susankat]

hahaha, thats what she said. I sent her some males last year as thats all she wanted for her outdoor water pond. Good to see you though, Deb and I chat through Aquahobby a lot.

Oh, I meant to say, Fromthelbc, that if it is an Aponogeton species you will likely see a white spiky flower above the surface of the water if you leave it be.

 

[Fromthelbc]

awesome. that would be sweet.
