To answer your question it is, but i can't for the life of me remember the name. I'm sure its a cultivar that Tropica created.

I'm almost certain its a plant that Tropica.com do, although i can't find it on their site. I'm sure of it though, i've seen it on another forum few years ago.

If my memory does indeed serve me correct it is quite a hard plant to grow. Requiring very high light and high CO2 + enough ferts dosed. Your going to struggle i think i'm afraid. I'll try and dig up some information for you.

hi i don't think that it's aquatic, it looks like Fittonia verschaffeltii to me. look in the parc section at the survey of non aquatic plants.

Yup that looks just like a nerve plant (Fittonia verschaffeltii) to me. It's a house plant. Take it out, put it in a pot of soil, keep it's soil moist, and you're good to go.

Yep, I agree with the above.
