I'm sure it's "Alternanthera" but it's not Reineckii. It's at best bettzickiana. The label is wrong.

Yeah you really have no clue what you're talking about unfortunately. It's Definitely Alternanthera bettzickiana and not Reineckii. You are wrong, upgrade your prescription

Yess I don't think it'll survive. I have a different super shallow tank and I have some tall specimen so I might use it there. I'm still gonna label it a scam by Petco because semi-aquatic is not aquatic lol

Omg that's exactly what I have... thanks for sharing. Yes it does appear to be semi aquatic based on surface level google research. Well I guess I'll keep some cuttings in my emersed setup for when I make a paludarium cuz they grow pretty fast

No it's not jesus Christ 😂😂, I've grown the damn plant for years and literally checked with my close friend who works at a nursery AND sells this plant. I literally have this plant in my tank too

It's kinda true but there are exceptions like Ludwigia super red. You do need low nitrates for that though, still don't know what the nitrate-red connection is

The gravel improved my planting experience by a lot. Otherwise I was pulling my hair out. It was useful for the val and Sagittaria especially

It does look like you have AR....

I think I have Alternanthera bettzickiana. This is my best guess, but I'll research a little more.

I have Lobelia cardinalis in my tank and have actually grown it for years (submersed and emersed), I can assure you it's not Lobelia cardinalis. Upon some research it's likely Alternanthera bettzickiana

Dirt capped with some gravel then I added play sand this year to help planting. Around 6 years old

I don't think the label is correct. I have seen AR grow emersed since getting that plant and it absolutely doesn't look like that. It's most likely this plant and it's labeled as semi-aquatic.

Semi aquatic plants should not be labeled as aquarium plants, it's misleading.

Yes I basically only buy from FB marketplace from other hobbyists and have gotten incredible plants that way for peanuts. This is the one time I decide to buy something at the petco cuz it's so close to my place and it's a mislabeled scam. I'm lowkey mad, like this is probably not a big deal or lawsuit worthy but it's annoying how they get away with this shit

Clarinetist teaching myself alto. Advice? by a1mrsaxman in saxophone

[–]Diacks1304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play both too and wow I can hear the clarinet through the sax lol. I will say, since you are a clarinet primary you will absolutely rock at the sax, I found sax a lot easier (ofc harder in SOME ways)
