    Hi All,

    I am trying to identify the below plant as I would like to get more for my tanks, they grow easy and look amazing in my tank. If anyone can help with the name I would much appreciate it.

    Kind regards

    Ludwigia repens. More light will give you pinks and reds

    Thats definitely Ludwigia Repens , as @JvH said more light and a bit of iron that plant will give you some beautiful colour to your tank.

    Thanks guys,

    Now to find some here in PE, need to stock my 4ft tank and planned 3ft custom which I am starting to build this weekend.

    Here is planned tank number 6(915x325x500) for this weekend:

    L. repens is really an underrated plant, grows extraordinarily well without CO2, excel, or dosing. And doesn't need much light. Once it reaches surface it will start to colour up and go crazy with new shoots forming along each node.
