I was watching Discovery's Planet Earth: Freshwater episode this weekend, and they did a segment on the Pantanal, and had some amazing water scenes full of plant life. There's one plant that was bright purple, and was wondering if it's one we're currently keeping. It looks like a limnophilia, but longer leaves than aromatica. The only picture I could find is this one, which doesn't even show the plant well, but I've touched it up to highlight the plant. Any thoughts?
They had a program on the Pantanal on PBS, Nature I think, about a month back, but it was a single episode that tried to cover the whole ecosystem. Great program, but the aquatics were only in passing.
I might be able to, but I'll have to figure out how to get it to anyone else. There's a marathon this Sunday all day of the Planet Earth series (April 22nd), if you can catch it.
I can try to record it for you, same as Kris not sure if I can get it to tape. The part on the Pantanal is only about 5 minutes. They dont really tank about the plants, main focus was the red belly piranhas. Same with lake Malawi, very little about cichlids, showed more about the flies!
