I changed tanks, and had a couple of roots that never grew past 1/2". I moved them to a new setup, and all of a sudden I have 1 plant that started growing out of nowhere. Can anyone ID this for me? I'm referring to the large one with the red markings, seems like a hammered leaf.

Just got a tip: Echinodorus Ozelot Green. Any seconds?

Definitely an Ozelot cultivar. Depending on how definite the spots get as it ages will determine if this is the Green variety or the original variety.

Nicely done, by the way.

Thanks! This plant never grew pas 1/2" while everything else around it blew up. Now I realize I have a 30cm plant

. I'll have to move it to the back, opposite the Red Rubin Swird.

BTW, how's Austin? I lived in SA-Town for 6 years.

Oddly enough, I'm just south of Sunset Valley in Kincheonville, just three blocks south of William Cannon and Brodie.

It's nice. Where I live anyway. Been rather chilly lately, though. Can't say I've been enjoying that. It's a good thing I only live 10 minutes from work, because if we actually get so much as a single snow flake later this morning or tomorrow morning, - well I'm sure you know what MoPac is like, but at least it isn't 35!

Cool. I read that this plant starts off with dark spots, then they get redder with time. I look forward to that then. This is in an Angelfish tank. One side has a Red Rubin, the middle mibble has Madagascar lace. This can go opposite, on the left side. I can replace the Val.
