I've got some kind of najas - there seems to be a lot of conflicting info out there - especially since egeria and elodea and such can behave so differently in different lighting. (I guess that's true with all plants!) I just threw out a lot of what I have, unfortunately, from trimming my 40 (native tank). I'll look around for photos to post to show you...

so you could have thrown away what im wanting  :(

im really wanting some rotala green cause i plan to tear down my tank and either upgrade to something bigger but either way im gonna replace the sand with eco-complete or ADA soil and i think the red rotal and the green rotala as a background plant would look good.

Hmm...looking on google, it might not have been...I have a stem plant that's got similar edging on the leaves, but it's not quite as full as egeria najas, and I believe it only has 3 leaves per whorl....not sure how many egeria najas has. I'm still looking for a good picture, might have to take one tonight.

I think both rotalas would look great!

I've got some rotala indica, doesn't look exactly the same but the price is right in return for all the stuff you've given me if your interested.

thanks ramius for the offer but i think the indica with my high lighting will turn red.

i found this plant at fish ranch and it has a really nice green to, not lime green like the rotala i want but im gonna work with it and maybe get some rotala later on and do two different shades of green and a red center background.

Just to warn you - that plant's going to shoot up REALLY quickly in your tank!  :)  Any new growth might be on the paler green/yellowish side, but will turn that rich green very soon, and will stay that way, so nothing to worry about there! Have you planted it yet?

I have some and really like it! I'm glad that you posted this because all the other anacharis that i have seen has very short leaves & I wasn't sure what I had.

i have not planted them yet, i pulled everything from my tank and emptied it last night to remove the sand substrate.

hopefully i will be replanting this weekend with eco-complete.
