Hello,

Could anyone tell me the name of this grass like plant please?

 

[Carlovel1]

Vallis?

 

[KittyKat]

Vallis. spiralis, aka common Vallis.

 

[Thedoctor]

Thank you

There is another grass-like aquatic plant thats name has something to do with spiderweb if memory serves well. Anybody have any clue as to what I mean?

Spider plants are sometimes sold as aquatic plants, but the won't last long before starting to rot. Other aquatic grass like plants are: Echinodorus tenellus, Eleocharis acicularis, Eleocharis parvula, Eleocharis vivipara, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis and Cyperus helferi.

cheers

Whose tank is that? I like it.

 

[Thedoctor]

Don't think it was any of those to be honest. Though they are nice and I thank you for the names

Thinking about it, I don't think it had 'spider' I think it's common name was something like webbed or cobweb.

It's bright green, and a really long, fine, grass/weed looking plant. I thought it was stringy algae or moss when is saw it in my LFS.

the tall plant in the background is Eleocharis vivipara.

Is it one of the Utricularia spp? For example U. gibba? Much (if not all) of that genus is carnivorous, but whichever species I used to have only went for day old fry and no larger.

It may be Rhizoclonium.

The examples I've seen give a lovely natural look.
