Well I guess I'll have to dump the hygro. It is growing too well.

Fissidens is in a tank that is difficult to reach. As I said it isn't a huge amount. Same with the pogostemon, just a couple of sprigs. I'll probably have it in the mail by Tuesday.

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has participated in ::plant it forward::. You make this work! From my original post, I was skeptical that the idea wouldn't take off. But the forum has embraced the idea of giving someone else the opportunity to try a new plant from someone else's generosity. If you haven't participated yet and would like to, I encourage you to take part. The cost is minimal and the quantity and quality of your offered plants isn't really important, just that your trying something new and giving someone else the same opportunity.


i have the following plants available pick from the list as you see fit.
limnophilia sp wavy, red root floater, mini rose moss ( looks like java moss to me) nymphoides sp Taiwan, marsilia minuta, lobelia cardinalis, one stem ludwigia glandulosa. java fern.

I would like to participate and take the following:

limnophilia sp wavy, marsilia minuta, lobelia cardinalis, one stem ludwigia glandulosa. java fern

BUT the tank I would be sharing from (my planted tank) has some Cladophora algae so I wanted to make sure to share that before taking the plant offer if it is a problem to share from my tank making it so I cannot share forward I will pass to someone without something that can be nuisance in their tank (the algae doesn't bother me as it stays mainly on some rock I have but on occasion I do have some of it on the substrate in the more clumpy plants)

Let me know

Cladophora isn't that what marimo ball made of? Cause Google is showing pictures of them when I search "Cladophora".

Yes it is but I have been told what I have is considered a nuicsance algae...just wanted to make sure that it was OK to share given I have this. I'm new to planted stuff so don't want to not disclose something that could be a problem for someone.

Its easy to kill when receiver gets the plants with hydrogen peroxide solution before planting. It easier to get rid of faster than black hair algae.

OK...here is my offering as I understand my package is on it's way.  Beginning plants mostly and my tanks have some snails...just FYI.  And if I have misidentified something please let me know...as I'm still learning.


Hygro Temple Narrow leaf (Hygrophila corymbosa) Nice stem of  this from the below plants...my plants show pretty pink coloration with the new leaves but that seems to fade as they age


Rotala rotundifolia (maybe) Long stem (5-6 inches) ..again, my plants show some nice color at the tips.  This plant is in a lower lighted tank so not so much color

this is in the higher light tank


Echinodorus Angustifolia Vesuvius - this one is fading in my tank.  It was doing better in my true planted tank but I relocated it cause I could never see it and now its faded a bit but its still living...I'll clean it up for shipping


Echinodorus tenellus (pygmy chain sword) - nice bunch of this...I have lots and its doing well


Cryptocoryne Wendtii "Tropica" (maybe...or bronze?)...not sure but I have a very nice plantlet on this one


Salvinia cucullata...a nice group of these


Echinodorus bleheri Amazon sword (swordlet) ... this is the one


I also have a couple of Java Fern plantlets if someone is interested.


Now this last one...I am not sure if I can share it or not.  I know it is illegal to ship over interstate lines but is it illegal to ship in state? I acquired this in a grab bag...its beautiful but has grow slowly in the tank its in as it one of my colder tanks...I have a small stem I could share if allowed.
Hygrophilia polysperma Rosanervig (Sunset Hygro)

Hygrophilia polysperma Rosanervig

Anyone interested  :?:  Pick and choose is fine. Thank you  :)

How do you not have anymore room in all your tanks especially the 140gal?
