hydrocotyle and I.D. another plant

Re: Hydrocotyle leucocephala (Brazilian Pennywort)

Anybody have actual experience with this plant, specifically anybody with lower light? Tropica site says low-very high light and easy. Aquahobby says average light and easy. I have a lower light tank, no CO2. I remember reading some people don’t like all those roots at every node, but I think they look cool. Well, I planted it and will see how it goes, just wanted others’ experiences. I got this huge bunch from my favourite LFS yesterday, for $5.00 Canadian, so it was worth a try. I only have a 28 gallon; it has really filled the place up! It was a real pain untangling it.

Also, in the mass of hydrocotyle, was this unknown plant, can anybody I.D. it for me? Thank you.

The unknown plant looks like hygro to me but not positive on that. If it is it will probably do fine in your low light too.

Thank you, good to have somewhere to start looking. I looked up the complete name and then googled on hygrophila polysperma and some of those pictures do look like what I have.

Thanks again.

Check out tropica.com. I think it's a great resource for plant info. Here's the pic from it on hygro polysperma:
