Tape-shaped


Tape-shaped aquatic plants, with their long, ribbon-like leaves, add a flowing elegance to aquariums. Their swaying movement creates a serene, underwater meadow, enhancing the dynamic aquatic vista.

Comparing leaf venation between #tapegrass (left) and #floatingleavedburreed. The three zoned longitudinal pattern of the tape grass shows up nice here.

The war on vegetation rages on! 🌱 

As many of you may have seen, tape grass is now coming on strong at Dudley.  The Harvester will make its debut this season. Tape grass leaves, and in some cases whole young plants, are releasing into the water already. 

Please, if you're able, remove these floating leaves and plants, otherwise it will just increase the sediment in the pond and whole plants could potentially re-grow and multiply.  Thank you in advance for you help!
I love it when human friends bring me plant friends
