Hey Tom,
What *Najas* species are we likely to encounter in aquaria? Around here,
the only kind I have, and that we normally see, we call *guadalupensis*,
but IDK if that is correct. It's leggier than the photo, usually, and a
weed that very rapidly takes over any well-lit tank.
How do you pronounce the genus name? Is the "j" a normal Latin/English
sound or the "h" sound of Spanish?
