Notes:
Limnophila hippuroides "Gratiola," shortly after purchasing from a LFS. The leaves were a nice deep purple, though not very bushy.
After a couple weeks in my tank. The tops have grown in nice and bushy, but the new leaves are growing in a pale green, instead of the deep purple, probably due to the lower light levels (the LFS had metal halides). The tops, though, are beginning to turn a nice red (esp. the plant to the right).You can see that the leaves on the stargrass to the left are showing green and white bands, which is probably because of a deficiency in iron. During the night, the leaves will grow, and in the morning, the leaves will show white in the new growth. I dose iron in the morning, so any growth during the day would grown in green. Thus, the green/white banding.
