Plant identification please...

Can anyone tell me what this plant is called? We bought 5 pieces of it about 3 weeks ago around 10 in in length and it just won't stop growing... It's covering the tank - makes fantastic hidey places for the fry!

It's a bit difficult to see, but I'd guess Limnophila sessiliflora. It tolerates a wide range of water chemistry and a fast grower under good lighting.

I will get a better picture now and edit this post.

Hang on

It is Limnophila sessiliflora, I have some in my tank and constantly need to keep trimming it back- as a result I also have loads of guppy babies as they hide in it and no-one eats them!

Yup!

Will this thrive in Brackish Water? Salinity is 1.004.

Thanks

I love this plant. I purchased two today, they are just so delicate and pretty and they really stand out in an aquarium.

Stunning plant indeed. Watch it grow aswell... And also - you may see things like this in it... Well hidden fry... We are surprised by how many have survived in this stuff...

And if no one has read the above post...
