Ranalisma rostrata
!
Here's a foreground plant you've probably not seen before. Ranalisma rostrata - SHORT, bright green aquarium plant that spreads rapidly via runners to form a lush carpet. This is NOT E. tennelus. Ranalisma rostrata stays short - around 1.5" in height
Ranalisma rostrata, some of which has runners. rostrata has grassy green leaves that can exceed 1" long, but their arching profile limit the plant's height to ~1", making it ideal as a foreground for even small tanks. This plant does well under medium to high light conditions with CO2 supplementation. Growth is excrutiatingly slow w/o CO2, especially under lower light.
