[Zoom]

And some more

[Zafgak]

First one here is Vallisneria - possibly giant (Vallisneria Gigantea)

second one is also a green plant :)

[Zafgak]

The anubias is anubias nana

"long thing looks like a species of Cabomba

"sword thingy" looks like it could be a type of vallis or saggitaria, not sure of the difference

"big leafed thing" might be amazon sword

[Madam]

Zafgak, you clown :)

[Zoom]

OK... you guys are no help... I'm now going to refer to my plants as

"Green plant #1"
"Green plant #1 with roots"
"Green plant #1 with roots and snails eggs"
"Green plant #2"
"Green plant #2 with chewed leaf"

So Madam... How is "Green plant #6 with polysideracus" doing in your tank?

[Ferryman]

Okay Zoom - I caught the hint....LoL. When I get home tonight I'll pull out my plant books and see if I can ID them......I just always read this post when I'm here at work and don't have my books with me.

Come on Henk - your input is worth MUCH more than R2.50 :D:D

[Zafgak]

Zoom the anubias - cabomba and vallis ID's are correct

[Henk Hugo]

corrrrrrrrrect zaffie - also want to point out cabomba is on both the old and the black lists

[Slojo]

Then why do most lfses in PTA sell them?

[Henk Hugo]

cuase it will grow any where in any conditions - hence its a invasive weed

[Ferryman]

probably cause A) they dont know its invasive or B) they "believe" they have a way to sidestep or loophole the regulations... possibly

[Henk Hugo]

Ferry - if you phone the DEAT line they will send out an inspector out to nail them

[Gilbertr14]

Except my tank :)

Zoom, I'm not sure which plant you're referring to, but all the plants you gave me are looking BEAUTIFUL!!! It appears that my plecs have acquired a taste for the one, and I don't foresee that they will last much longer in there... :) Naughty buggers.

Getting the new tank on Saturday... eeeeeeeeeeee!! *excitement*!!!

[Ferryman]

okay, now i need some plant ID help as well please
i think one is bacopa, not sure, the rest i forgot the names as soon as i walked out the shop

One is a bit like a vetplantjie, the one i think is bacopa, (now i'm not even sure of that name anymore, anyway)
then there's a red leaved one, i think is related to alternanthera, but its 'flowers' are red also
and lastly one i think might be limnophila sessiflora? not sure

[Ferryman]

*bump, cmon, someone must know these plants, even a common name would help me? (provided its the correct common name)

[Ferryman]

ag, dont worry, just found them,
Okay, found the third one is Ambulia? or something, Limnophila sessiflora/Limnophila heterphylla? Its just Super tiny at present

Firsts is bacopa, dunno what type, but yeah, and the middle one i'm very suspicious of, i think its a marsh plant, not supposed to be submerged,,, dunno??
