Default Hygrophila Roraima..

I have a grow out tank of this plant and I think its a fantastic low growing hygro. Stays nice and low and the leaves are no longer than 2.3-3".
Does anybody else keep this plant?

Cheers, Orlando

Its very rare, and I don't think Im supposed to have it....Regardless, it grows purple leaves under high light and good food. I feed it nothing and its under crappy lights.

It grows low and makes a great foreground plant,,

Cheers, Orlando
