    Hi all, please can someone help me out with a plant ID for the attached pic. I am very new to this whole plant thing so apologise if this is on the BL.
    Cheers Greg

    Pretty new adition to your tank hey? seems to be an Echinodorus bleherii - the leaf shape will change quite bit as it forms new,submerged leaves... the current ones are an emersed form - it was grown hydroponicaly...

    If it's not E.bleherii - it is most definatively a type of amazon sword in any case.... post some pics again in a month or two once it has changed to its submerged growth form - will be a lot easier to identify then... A lot of Swords emersed leaves look very much the same...

    Thanks azurekoi, yes it is a brand new edition, I'll post some pics in a month or two once it has grown in.
