Hello everyone.I'm new here.
I've kept fish for years (mostly Malawi) but this is my first dabble at a planted tank.
I'm basically setting up a UK native tank, and found the plant in the pictures below growing in a local natural pond halfway up a mountain. It was around the waters edge semi submerged but mostly floating just on the surface. Absolutely tons of it there.
I took two clumps and have weighed one down with some wood, and tied the other to a coconut cave. It's been fully submerged for about a week and is looking healthy with new growth coming.
It's matted with some kind of moss, but does anyone know what the main stems are?
Also does anyone have any suggestions for UK native plant types/names I can look to buy. The tank is a fluval edge so low/slow growing preferably.
Hopefully someone can help. Thanks.
