[Michael the fish fanatic]

I wanted to know what is your favourite plant.

[Redevilz]

Probably Anubias Barteri

[Bombshocked]

Aponogeton madagascariensis

[Redevilz]

Shouldn't you be called Sir_Aponogeton then?

[Kleinz]

Crypts. Easy to grow, not frequently eaten by fish. attractive in bunches, don't harbour bad thread type algae, don't need vast amounts of light.

[Redevilz]

Yeah Crypts are nice, My favourite is the Cryptocoryne Wendtii. very nice plant

[Graeme]

Ondinia purpurea or as it has now been changed to Nymphaea ondinea subsp. purpurea

This plant is beautiful but a plant that has still to be grown in tanks or ponds successfully.

 

I was lucky enough to be with Dave Wilson and a few others to collect some of this from the Kimberleys.

And no one was able to keep it alive past 1 generation ( flowering season )

[gezza]

Bucephalandra and Anubias nana petite low tech but very slow growers

[Bombshocked]

i dont think there is any Aponogeton madagascariensis in western aus

 

so you make the best of what you got

[Westie]

I love the amazon sword plants best Echinodorus amazonicus
I agree with Kleinz that cryptocorynes are great plants, so they would be a close second, followed by the red lotus or tri colour lotus plants

If I was to choose a stem plant, then I really like ambulia

[Bombshocked]

im definatly with you on that stem ambulia looks awesome but it must be very tasty?

 

Edit:My Brothers Fav Plant Is aponogeton boivinianus
