Ah that's brilliant, thank you! I wanted some of that before, remember seeing it in someone else's tank and wanting some. @mbsqw1d you have some of this stuff, don't you?Hydrocotyle leucocephala, or aka Brazilian pennywort!
All the plants are south american based.
Yeh, I picked plants from a south american biotope selection and yeh the Brazilian Pennywort was one of them. Its a bit like that Hydrocotyle tripartita 'japan' (that you can push into the substrate and train it to grow along the bottom) but with bigger leaves.Ah that's brilliant, thank you!

I need some! Have added it to my wish list, cheers! It looks fab in your tank too, looks good both growing tall and bushy/carpeting like that. I bet the otos and pygmies would like sitting on those leaves.Yeh, I picked plants from a south american biotope selection and yeh the Brazilian Pennywort was one of them.

nice thanks. i wanted to know the plants and how you fertilised them. i have root tabs too! seems to really help the swordHydrocotyle leucocephala, or aka Brazilian pennywort!
All the plants are south american based.
Sag grass, Brazilian pennywort, vallisneria Americana, staurogyne repens, echinodorus quadricostatus, and echinodorus ozelot. Plus a corale up top of water lettuce.
Arguing with the quadricostatus as it was a tissue culture and its still struggling to take hold.

Gorgeous tank and equally beautiful corys! The tank pictures look like oil paintings, your setup is wonderful.Id like to share my setup for my corydoras eques from setup until currently.
Initially thought I'd want tannins but the plants didn't like it so I eventually scrapped that idea
and this is most recent
