It is of a small pool next to a drainage pipe that comes out from under a road. It is the only place I know of in the Jackson, MS area where this plant exists.

Are those snails native to your locale also?

HeyPK

No, those are red ramshorns and a few brown ones. I have had them forever.

I have the same plant and it does well throwing off shoots all thetime

Decades ago, I collected a similar sagittaria from a pond in central Oklahoma. This was before I had a clue about how to grow plants in aquaria. But I put it in a pot in a 60 gal with two oscars. Amazingly, they didn't destroy it! And it grew pretty well under incadescent (!) light for about nine months before I tore down the tank.

So giant sagittaria might find a following among cichlid keepers.

The Sag. is now pushing leaves against the top of the tank. Still no evidence of any change to emersed leaves. There is a runner visible. I've got to prune the Hygrophila, Ludwigia and the floating leaves of the E. cordifolius.

Wow! That is a monster!

How wide are the leaves? Looks to be at least an inch wide.

HeyPK

At least an inch wide. Maybe an inch and a quarter. I just saw a runner yesterday. These plants need to be in a deep tank.

I found a Sagittaria this summer that initially looked like what is called subulata in the hobby, but it has started growing leaves with spoon-shaped tips and probably won't be suitable. At least yours would be nice for a larger tank.

I'm sure that I could find a spot for it in my tank, PK! Lol! Very cool to see what grows in your own neighborhood!
