Yes... it's a clip from an Amano creation.

It looks like a plant I'd like to use as my forground.

Could it be marsilea or glossostigma?

Anyone have this? Advice on care...

it's kinda fuzzy, but i'd say glosso

I'm guessing it's glosso as well, but if the leaves look too small to be glosso in comparision with the rest of the tank's plants, perhaps it could be Elatine, which was featured in the latest TAG from the AGA.

But, as this article admits, it's not regularly grown in the aquarium hobby.

Thanks folks... If you have a little spare time you can probably on Amano's or AGD America's site.

It's Glosso.

That species of Elatine is new to the hobby I think. In all of Amano's books he used Glosso a lot in the beginning.

Glosso is fun to grow. It's success also is it's downfall. It can become a monster.

Give it a try. You'll like it.
