Just clean up all my tanks after 2 months traveling...

Ammania gracilis, 3 for $4
Ludwigia arcuata, 8+ stems $4
Ludwigia brevipes 8+ stems $4
Rotala sp. “GREEN” 15+ stems $4
Rotala Macrandra "GREEN" 10+ $5
Blyxa Japonica, 4-6 for $5(mix of different sizes)
Hydrocotyle verticillata, 10 for $5(small of them look tall now because some where immersed)
Echinodorus tellenus, 10-15 $5(1mm-2mm leafs turn pink)
Echinodorus aflame "AKA Purple Knight in Asia", $18 each.
Echinodorus “Small Bear”(starting to show some nice color similar to the Blyxa when they get red brown)$12 Only have 4 for sale.
Utricularia sp from Pinang/UG, 2x2 for $9 or 4x4 $25

All stem plants are range from 4 to 7 inches long, if it is shorter than I would replace it with more stems to cover the difference and it is the same with Blyxa. All plants are growing in ADA aqua soil and other ADA products only. Some of my plants might be immersed form as I have all different kind of setups that I’ll be cutting/collecting them from. All shipping are $5 through USPS and I only ship them on Mon, Tues, and Sat. When you send the money through PAYPAL make sure you noted what you want in it. I always try to put some extras!! Hope this is clear enough...

Hi Tony,

Mine only turned purple when it had grown up to near the surface and was directly under the CF; otherwise it was green.

It is a rare cross breed from the wild. They turn from maroon red to purple to almost black all depending on the fish tank condition. These sell more than $25 to $30 over sea now and though these were very hard to keep(that was why it is expansive) but I find them okay on most of the condition. I have some in my discus tank and some other in colder(w/shrimps) water tank. My did not need to go to the surface to turn purple and don't seem very big & tall so far when compairing to Amazon sword but that could have be just my tanks. My tanks all have ADA products in it and I do use ADA's ECA which would make there color even darker. For E. Aflam, even when the leafs are green(immersed) you can still see the black lines on the leafs. I do think them more as a mid ground plants than back cause of there size. I treated them like other swords... and I also find out there are many different version(some really cool looking one from Taiwan) of it but in the end, more wild blood in them more strong in color and harder to keep.

Condition for my tanks:

Lights: 6700k to 10000k bulbs.
ADA Aqua soil or none aqua soil.
Fert.: Green Brighty Step 3 + ECA(once in a while)
Temp: 22C to 30C
PH: 5.0 - 6.5
CO2: none to 1.5/sec
Water change: daily(not joking).
