What is this plant?

Just picked one of these up today from LFS. Thought it looked great and wanted to get more info on them. Anybody have experience with them? Thanks.

I think it's marsh pennywort. Maybe brazilian pennywort.

I don't think that's pennywort. Pennywort is not round as pictured, and I see no roots as would be present with that plant. Also, pennywort leaves have indentations which make them more heart shaped. Those leaves appear to be round.
Having said that, I have no guess as to what it could be.
Sorry.

Definitely not Hydrocotyle leucocephala (Brazilian pennywort) I have a lot of this. This looks like Hydrocotyle verticillata (Whorled umbrella plant).

Max. height 6-10"
Growth rate: Med to fast
Midground, foreground
Light: bright to very bright
Temp: 68-77
Careful and continual pruning will eventually produce a densely packed spread of individual stems with variable leaf shapes.


a nice plant, I would like to find some for myself!

On plantgeek Hydrocotyle verticillata is listed as marsh pennywort. Is this the same as an umbrella plant I also have some pennywort in my tank but it doesn't look exactly like what is shown on plantgeek

Looks like Hydrocotyle Vulgaris to me.
