I can see why this plant is considered invasive. Here it is in my 
freshly set up aquarium 9 months ago (it's amazing how young my tiger 
barbs look).

and here it is today!!

Is this stuff is worth $? I've just been trashing it. I'm likely going 
to do a large purge soon. I'd like to trade with someone and get some 
variation.

Anyone know how to help my poor plant in the foreground? It's the same 
that shows in the right foreground in the first photo "Aquarium.jpg". 
Hard to believe they are the same plant. It did well, until I deprived 
it of light by neglecting to clip taller plants for a couple months. I 
loved it so much when it's in it's prime.  I moved it out front to an 
exclusive area where it is now for better light. It's dying.... 
Although, it seems to sprout a new fresh leaf the day after each %25+ 
water change.  It's leaves were originally round, thick and green when I 
first aquired it. You can see it changing in the original photo the 
leaves changed to an elongated shape and favoring towards a dark red. 
It's new leaves today are tiny and deep red, but weak and transparent so 
far. Here is a better pic of just it in it's current form:

I've never added solid ferts before for roots, but I'm thinking it might 
help but I always choke on the price from the LFS.  I'd have to roll my 
own if I were to do that.

I wish I new what it's name is. Anyone care to id it?

- Chris.
