Soothing Shrimp Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Looks similar to subwassertang, but does not grow round. Some type of pellia I'm guessing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Pretty sure its subwassertang grown in low light. It doesn't shape the same way when grown in low vs medium/high. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 You may be correct? My other two tanks with subwass grew round in the same low light though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have usa satellite+ at 100% on my 40B which had a ton of subwassertang. Moved some to my 10G which runs usa satellite+ at around 50% and they looked like the picture on your first post. Pretty sure its lighting related.

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Double checking: Do your branches face upward? Mine are facing down like a weeping willow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Not sure since all my tanks are now at 100%. Started at 50% because it was a new tank and didn't want algae issues. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks, dude. Hopefully a couple more people can chime in to confirm or offer different opinions. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dluxeshrimps Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I may be of help, I have no special light at all for one of my subwassertang tank. Ill have to check my tank when I get home later on today. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimple minded Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 My first thought is "regular" pellia (not mini) pellia monosolenium tenerum vs pellia lomariopsis (round pellia = subwassertang) https://www.google.com/search?q=pellia+monosolenium+tenerum&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjqgo6PmrbSAhVo1oMKHdgUCVwQsAQIGw&biw=1680&bih=920 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 While researching, found some interesting info: " It's actually a fern not a liverwort, pellia is monoselenium tenellum, it's scientific name is probably Lomariopsis lineata and it is not subwasertang it is susswassertang, the german symbol for "ss" looks like a b which is how that mistake was made. " Anyway, I'm convinced it's not subwassertang because the lobes don't look like this: Plus, the branches are skinnier and droop. It may be pellia monosolenium tenerum ? Can anyone get a close up of the lobes and if their branches droop? Wondering if it may be possibly Metzgeria conjugata? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dluxeshrimps Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 so I looked at my subwassertang which I have it growing under no special light at all, a simple 40 watt bulb to be exact. there seems to be no difference in the branches or close up of the lobes, looks like you may have some other kind of plant there. so light is not a reason for a different form of the branches/lobes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
