    Hi All

    I wanted some tall background plants for my one tank and these were perfect. The guy told me they were stem plants but he had no idea what. He thought he had ordered Elodea but he said he doesn’t think its that. I have a piece of Elodea and it looks nothing like these. Any thoughts? Is this a species of Elodea? Thank you.[​IMG]

    Might also be Egeria Densa (leafy elodea).

    I remember back in the day that these two plants looked similar but were different species; Elodea Canadensis or Egeria Densa.
