Plant Id

[Liam]

Would really like to know what this plant is, have had it for four months, the leaves can be green, dark red/purple or pink, it looks like flowers almost. I really like it; the rasbora and the cardinal should give an idea of the small leaf size. Should I kill it I would like to be able to replace it. It’s about a foot tall now, bought it at about 3 inches from a little pet shop.

I'm not sure what it is, but it's very nice and if it's aquatic I wouldn't mind a bit of it myself.

Sam

if your saying about me promoting them

its because i had good service and they were good quaility plants

 

[Themuleous]

Oh no, wasn't at you, was asking Laura for a bit of self promotion And I fully agree with people promoting plant sites, good ones are not that common, and I much prefer to go on someones personal experience than a website

Thanks people I did a google and yeah Laura that’s it, one of my favourite plants.

Neal drop me a pm with your address and I can send you some, you might get some clado (algae) and some ramshorns with it but you are welcome to some if you want when I do a pruning next week sometime.
