I'm thinking of plants for my 3 footer and have a few ideas, one being that I want some Ludwigia in there. The reason being that (believe it or not) I've never grown any! Doing some research and I find that there are several available, although different suppliers offer different species. Are they're some synonyms at work here?
L. palustris - seems to be sold quite a lot for garden ponds Will I regret putting this in my tank? The Greenline picture gives it a nice fresh green look, can anyone confirm this?
L. ovalis - I really like the look of this on aquarium-gardening.com, but it looks like a different plant to that from Greenline. Some suggestion it's shorter than the common ones, is this true?
L. repens - this seems to be the really common one. How does it compare to L.palustris?
L. mullertii - Can only find this at Greenline, could this be L.repens 'Rubin' from tropica?
L.arcuata - Could this be L.palustris "narrow leaf" as seen here: http://www.aquariumplants.com/Ludwigia_ ... /bp018.htm
L.natans - Looks much like L.repens to me. Any thoughts?
L.inclinata var.verticillata "Cuba" - anyone growing this?
L.glandulosa - The red in this looks really vibrant. Anyone got a picture of what it looks like in reality? Anyone growing it?
Sorry for all the questions, but I don't know much about these plants.
Thanks,
Graham
