Acorus gramineus

Acorus gramineus is commonly called grassy-leaved sweet flag. It is native to wetland areas of China, Japan, Korea, India, Thailand, Myanmar and the Philippines. It is a semi-evergreen, marginal aquatic perennial that features a grass-like tuft of narrow, linear leaf blades (1/4“ wide) that fan outward to 6-12” tall. Tiny, insignificant, yellow-green flowers bloom from spring to early summer on lateral, sedge-like flower spikes (spadixes to 2-4″ long). Flowers give way to very tiny, reddish, fleshy berries. Tufts will slowly spread over time by rhizomes to form a dense ground cover. Plants thrive in wet soils and are commonly grown in water gardens and boggy areas for foliage accent or ground cover purposes. Although it looks like a grass and its common name suggests a grassy appearance, grassy-leaved sweet flag is not a member of the grass family. Originally it was assigned to the arum family (which includes calla lily and jack-in-the-pulpit), but recently it has been transferred from arum to its own family called Acoraceae. Transfer from the arum family was in part done because plants in the genus Acorus do not have true spathes as are typically found in arum family members. Foliage is sweetly fragrant when bruised (hence the common name of sweet flag).

Acorus gramineus”variegatus”

Acorus pussilus

Dwarf Rush is a terrarium plant that can be grown in an aquarium for short periods of time. When kept in a submerged environment, it is important to take the plant out of the water and grow it emersed for several months to allow the plant to rejuvenate. The leaves are considered thicker and more resilient so many hobbyist keep them with Cichlids who would otherwise tear up more delicate foliage.

Alternathera bettzickiana”brown”

Alternanthera Bettzickiana is a popular choice for beginners due to the fact that its pretty easy to grow. Most red stem plants can prove difficult to get that vibrant red color without providing high CO2 and micronutrients. This plant can stay vibrant red with relative ease but if nutrients and lighting are severely lacking, the leaves can dull out to an orange hue.

It prefers high nitrates and high phosphates so dosing fertilizers such as UNS Plant Food will help speed up growth and keep coloration at its best.

Alternathera cardinalis

Alternanthera cardinalis, originally from South America, provides an effective contrast to the many green plants in an aquarium due to the purple colour underneath the leaves. If provided with enough CO2 and light the plant will become vividly coloured. Can grow rapidly up to 50 cm high.

Alternathera lilacina

Alternanthera lilacina from South America needs plenty of light to grow and form dark-red leaves.

Alternanthera lilacina is a more difficult plants to grow, needing very bright lighting good quantities of CO2 infusion and a good nutritious substrate, if the deep red/purple colours are to be achieved.

Alternathera reineckii ocipus/ocipus

lternanthera Reineckii var. ‘Ocipus’ is a cultivar variant of the usual Alternanthera Reineckii. It is mostly used as ornamental plants in aquaria because of its cool pinkish/salmon undertone. It has yellow green leaves with pink/salmon underside which turns reddish with intense lighting and CO2.

Alternathera rosaefolia/reineckii

Alternanthera reineckii rosaefolia is one of the most beautiful plants among the aquarium enthusiasts. It is also known as Magenta water hedge, Alternanthera Osiris, Alternanthère narrow-leaved or sessile leaves, herb alligators Reineck etc. It originates from South America where it is found in the Amazonian waterways. It is commonly used in an aquascape to provide contrast to the normally green plants in most aquariums. It can be easily achieved by planting them in groups. It is quite undemanding and thrives in both hard and soft water.

Alternathera sessilis

Alternanthera sessilis is easily located in various tropical and subtropical regions of the earth, usually in areas that are moist or wet, such as in marshes, on roadsides and in planted gardens. A dark red form of this species is very popular and heavily used as decorative plant, and it is also often advertised as aquarium plant. However, when compared to the Alternanthera reineckii, it is not well suited to be submersed under water. When cultivated as an aquatic plant, it develops very long internodes that have small leaves and a very high number of roots that become situated high on the plant.

Ammania gracillis/Nasaea pedicellata

Ammannia gracilis, first introduced into the hobby by aquarist P.J. Bussink who brought it with him from Liberia, is a prostate marsh plant found throughout West Africa. Because of its beauty and relatively less troublesome growing requirements, Ammania gracilis is the most popular aquarium plant of its genus.

Ammania senegalensis/Ammannia gracilis

Ammannia senegalensis has a leaf that is curved in a downward fashion in an arch. In order to achieve strong shoots the substrate should be nutrient rich, like Grow-Pro for plants, and it needs very strong lighting. Five to eight strong specimens, 1 bunch from us, can be used for the mid-ground area to help accent the shades of green aquarium plants. Ammania Senegalensis does much better in soft water. Can withstand temps from 53.6 to 86 degrees. Optimum growth temperature is 71.6 to 82.4 degrees.

Anubias sp/Aglaonema sp

Aponogeton crispus”bulb”

Aponogeton crispus look good in any aquarium with its light-green, transparent leaves. Leaves from 25-50 cm and the plant grows to 15-25 cm wide. It makes few demands, although growth is always best in soft, slightly acidic water with a nutritious bottom. In such conditions the plant produces a mass of leaves, and it flowers very frequently in optimum conditions. Aponogeton crispus is generally found in ponds that are only filled with water in the rainy season, but it does not need a dormant period in the aquarium.

Aqua fern (hard leaf)/Trichomanes javanicum”Borneo fern”

Trichomanes javanicum is a fern originating from South-East Asia, where it grows, amongst others, on the banks of rivulets. Its stiff leaves are dark green and slightly transparent, and it looks a bit like Bolbitis heudelotii. However, other than the latter, it does not form a creeping rhizome but a short upright shoot on which the rosulate leaves grow. The roots form mat-like structures on the substrate in nature.

Azolla caroliniana

Azolla caroliniana, also known as mosquito fern, is a floating, aquatic fern native to the eastern and southern United States. In its natural habitat, A. caroliniana can be found covering the surfaces of ponds, lakes and swamps. Due to its fast growing tendencies, Azolla caroliniana is infrequently used for aquariums. It can be obtained from most of the major aquatic nurseries, nonetheless.

Bacopa amplexicaulis ‘e’

Bacopa amplexicaulis is a charming aquatic plant with neat and compact stems and leaves. An attractive shade of green that will bring radiance and vibrancy to your aquarium. Very easy to grow and easy to take cuttings from.

Bacopa lanigera

Bacopa lanigera when it receives frequent sunlight it produces 10 mm long flowers with five bluish-purple petals. They are arranged singly in the leaf forks near the end of the branches. They are borne on slender stalks (5-20 mm) long that are also hairy. Each flower has two green bracts at its base and the petals are formed into a short tube with five spreading lobes at the tip. The fruit is a small capsule (4-5 m long) containing numerous tiny seeds.

Bacopa monieri

Bacopa monnieri is a very popular aquatic plant among the beginners and experienced fish keepers. It can grow easily in an aquarium under correct condition. It does better in clean and clear water with nutrient rich environment. For optimum growth, the tank should have sufficient CO2 supplementation and a high light intensity. Lighting should be ranged from 2 to 3 watts per gallon, using full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs. If the light is too low, the lower part of the plant tends to rot. It can tolerate water temperatures from 72-820F( 22-28 0C).

Bacopa myriophilloides

Bacopa myriophylloides is one of the more unique aquatic Bacopa species. Fine leaves make it resemble a member of the Myriophyllum genus, but yet it is a Bacopa. Use Bacopa myriophylloides to add a different texture to your planted aquarium. Very attractive and rare. Makes a wonderful accent if planted as a group in the midground. A little fussy to adapt at first.

Bacopa rotundifolia/caroliniana

Bacopa caroliniana originates from US and has been used as an aquarium plant for many years. Stems become 10-30 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. Apart from relatively good light it makes few demands. Its slow growth rate makes it one of the few stem plants that do not need much attention. Like most stem plants, it is most decorative when planted in small groups. Easy to propagate by cuttings; take a side shoot and plant it in the bottom.

Balsamica

Hygrophila balsamica is a marsh dwelling stem plant native to India and Sri Lanka. It has been known to the hobby for a long time but has only recently become kept by more than a small number of hobbyists. Why? If its emersed shoots are placed directly into an aquarium containing fish or invertebrates, the animals will be poisoned. However, the plant is not at all toxic in its submersed form and may be used without issue once submersed growth is obtained. Since many nurseries growing aquatic plants grow their stock emersed, it’s easy to see why it is still so uncommon. That is beginning to change as it becomes more widely traded and sold among hobbyists and online sellers.

Blyxa aubertii

Blyxa (bly-za) aubertii is a true aquatic plant found throughout Southeastern Asia, Africa, Japan and Australia. It is found in a wide variety of habitats from rice paddies to swiftly-flowing streams. Although it has been in the hobby for quite some time, it has inexplicably not become very commonly encountered. At present, it is usually only available through trade or through specialty retailers. Blyxa echinosperma was previously considered a species unto its own but is now recognized as a variety of B. aubertii.

Blyxa japonica/novoguineensis

Blyxa japonica is an obligate aquatic plant often found in stagnant, shallow pools and marshes as well as in slow moving, iron-rich forest streams in tropical eastern Asia. It can also be found in man-made habitats (such as rice paddies) throughout its range. It has become a staple in the planted aquarium hobby due to its attractive grassy and hedge-like appearance.

Cabomba aquatica

Cabomba is a very popular aquarium plant from South America owing to its beautiful foliage. It reaches 30-80 cm and each stem can become 5-8 cm wide.The least demanding of the Cabomba-species, but still causes problems in poorly lit aquariums. If there is not sufficient light, try Limnophila sessiliflora, which requires less light. Most decorative when planted in groups. Eaten locally as a vegetable.

Cabomba caroliniana

Green Cabomba, or Cabomba caroliniana, is a popular aquarium plant which exists in generally acidic lakes, ponds, and rivers in regions in both North and South America. It has been commonly available through most pond and aquarium plant retailers for years. The ease with which this species chokes out native flora through its rapid formation of massive colonies has led to its status as a noxious weed in Australia and other countries.
