Carlos,

Where in the world do you come up with all these plants? I need to get it what ever it is...

Haha! This is interesting, Carlos!

In a certan LFS where I live it's not unusual to see terrestrial plants being stuck in the tanks and sold as aquatic plants. At times they have more terrestrial plants than aquatic ones, all being sold as aquatic. Pieces of red painted Marginata (a true terrestrial plant) are sold as "Fire Plant" and they disappear quickly, haha.

I don't think it's an Aglaonema, I see so many of them every day that I'm pretty sure. But what is this then? (Looks more like an Anubias to me.)

I agree with Carlos, those leaves don't resemble any of the variegated Anubias species I've seen. It looks like some type of terrestrial plant. Edge, I think the LFS got the better steal...

I emailed oriental aquarium and asked them what it is.

Hopefully I will get a reply from them in the next couple of business days.

The leaf shape/texture, root structure, and crown are very reminiscent of the Spathiphyllum genus. The plant shown is possibly a variegated version of the Spathiphyllum sp. 'Petite'.

EDGE

It looks very much like the spathiphyllum sp. shown in the oriental book. This family is use to purify the air. It require very low light and can be grown in marsh condition.

I didn't add it to the fish tank, it is growing in a marsh condition anyways.

Not bad, now I have 4 plant for the house.

EDGE,

Do you have an overflow or Power filter in your tank? That puppy may look really neat growing out of it...

EDGE

I have a powerhead right above the nasaea. It would be difficult to raise it close to the surface.

On a side note, I have never seen this plant in a garden shop before.
