    No.3 I think is Ludwigia repens, but not sure. It has almost no red on it.

    Also can someone tell me if these plants have been grown emersed ? Their stems seem pretty stiff and rigid for aquarium plants.

    Thanx :)

    I can tell you that 2 pots are the same thing in different forms. You have immersed and submersed from of Rotala Rotadifolia (Plant 2 and 3). The one with the finer leaves is the submersed form.

    Plant 1 is bacopa monnieri.

    Please get a second opinion on this. I've been out of the aquarium game for a while so my ID skills are not what they used to be.

    Thanks guys, they turned out to be Ludwigia repens, Rotala (looks like rotundifola "green") and the other one had very closely spaced elongated narrow leaves, looks alot like Didiplis Diandra. I'm not really sure in which order I didn't pay much attention to them for a while, but I think 1 was Ludwigia, 2 Rotala and 3 Didiplis. I could still be wrong though.
    They struggled to start their submerged growth, except the Ludwigia. Unfortunately after I went away for a week the cyanobacteria problem I had overtook almost everything and the Didiplis did not make it, the Rotala has only a small piece left.

    It's really weird how the emersed and submersed growth differs in looks.

    I would of thought :tongue:
    1. Rotala (emersed - due to rounded leaves)
    2. Lugwigia Arcuata /Brevipe
    3. Lugwigia Repens[FONT=arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]
