MMM Thats a lovely tank, I´ve been obsessed with decorating my fish tank in that way tho money is limited, I´ve also been meaning to start a project where I design ruins for the tank, instead of having to buy those god awful coliseums and submarines you find in every store, like maybe even make one combining architecture and plants, well I study architecture so its like a fantasy of mine :p

Still wouldn’t be cheap so i gotta wait before i start doing that <,<

Definetely not the same as H. pinnatifida.

I have both growing in the same tank, and there is absolutely no question.

Both have same leaf shape (pinnatifida) but coloration is distinctly different.

I have not flowered any of them yet

I don’t know for sure since I haven’t grow H. pinnatifida myself, but from some discussions with others and seeing pictures of the two, they are probably two distinct plants. The H. sp. ‘Guinea’ stays lime green, while the H. pinnatifida gets reddish under good light. It’s possible they’re morphs, but without flowering them both, and keying them out, I couldn’t tell you. Hopefully H. pinnatifida will start being available in the U.S. soon so we can find out for sure.
