Aaron;

Would you be interested in Ludwigia palustris? Looks like repens, only smaller leaved.

Cheers.

I was actually only curious at this point. I was chatting with Dave the other day and it came up as a plant I recommended to him, but I wasn't sure if anyone in the club still had it.

L. palustris is a nice one though. :D

My memory might be sketchy, but didn't Rick have L. repens in his 75G?

L. palustris can be had for free from the banks of most local ponds, streams, reservoirs once the weather warms up, and it's a beautiful plant. :-)

Rick had repens yes, repens 'Rubin' stays pretty red no matter the conditions of the tank.

Ill take some palustris, I evidently already have some 'rubin' from the last meeting.

I really liked how it looked in Ricks tank and I am stealing that plan for the 55 and possibly other tanks as well.

Yes, but I have it now. And you know what they say, "Time is money"! :mrgreen:

I'll bring some to the next meeting.
