Hydrocotyle Leucocephala

[pseud]

Anybody grow this? Having luck with it? How is it? Does it send out many water shoots? Got pictures?

I also have been researching this plant. It isn't too plentiful in the US. I have seen it on a couple of sites, I saw it in one of the tank pictures in GF225s tank thread and I really liked it. I need to know how much light it needs etc.

Pseud, I bought a clump of Java Fern the other day that hopefully will grow big. It is already pretty big- the LFS had it for sale for $3 per inch, so I asked them how much for the whole thing and I got it for $15. I attached it to my driftwood. Hopefully it will attach, I may need to use more thread and tighten it down.

I also got 3 Amano shrimp (I already had two) and one of them is full of eggs, I don't have high hopes that she will spawn baby shrimp, but what the hey.

I also had to make a net for my Riccia because the darn gourami is set on a bubble nest in it. I may have to move him to another tank. I took a couple of photos of him trying to get to the riccia through the net, but I am out of state working now, so can't post.

well I just planted money wart last week actually,

it seems to be doing ok

a couple of them have already started to really grow in height


psued
when you say "water shoots" what do you mean?


if your talking about new growths It seems to go straight up in a spiraling motion. Interesting because this enables it to grow tall and not completely block some of its own leaves

if you want a close up shot pm me and I'll send ya few pics

By water shoots I mean those ugly root looking things that plants send down from the stem toward the substrate..

Yeah, some pics would be great...
