what is this called, how big will it get? right now is getting out of my mom's 75...

Looks like Cryptocoryne wendtii to me. It probably won't get too much bigger than it is now. In lower light they get a bit bigger, in higher light a bit smaller. Hope that helps.

If it's shaded, it still could be Crypt wendtii.

The other two pictures are Hygrophila corymbosa ''angustifolia''

question, this plant is like 6 inches out of the water now, it grows by the mile! what could i do so that the leaves stay green and don't die out of the water?

trim it?

ddavila06 · Post by **ddavila06** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 8:36 am

if i trim it, won't it start dying out? because i will cut a piece of leave off right? not the whole leaf...

Yeah, you'd have to cut the whole leaf off.
