Description
Rotala mexicana "Goiás" is one of the few red low-growing foreground plants. It is said to originate from the Brazilian state of Goiás. It was identified as a variant of the extremely variable Rotala mexicana. Even though it has been known to the aquarium hobby in Europe for a few years it is only rarely available and is thus a rarity. Newly placed shoots usually grow flat and creep on the substrate. When the population gets denser, more upright stems will develop. You can keep the population low by cutting it back, or let it grow to a wide bush especially nice in the middle ground of the aquarium. The combination of Rotala mexicana "Goiás" with green stem plants results in a nice colour contrast. This rather small-leaved delicate plant is great for nano tanks.
Characteristics
This plant became known as Rotala sp. 'Goiás' in the hobby. Later on it was identified as a member of the very variable, widely distributed species Rotala mexicana zählt.
The submersed habit of R. mexicana 'Goiás' is creeping, dense populations also grow upright.

Sehr voller Becher mit der sehr schönen Pflanzen
Ich habe einen gut gefüllten Becher erhalten in dem mehr als genug gesunde Pflanzen waren die auch in einen frisch eingerichteten Becken sofort gut angewachsen sind und innerhalb von wenigen Tagen direkt angefangen haben die Triebspitzen in schönem rot/rosa zu entwickeln.
Keinerlei Ausfälle und sie wachsen fleißig weiter.
Ich freue mich schon auf den fertigen Teppich :)
2-10 cm? Practically a ground cover? A Rotala? I simply couldn't help it, I had to have it. It's in 3 tanks with me: one with soil and CO2, one with soil without CO2 and one with...

Da musste ich zuschlagen!
2-10 cm? Quasi ein Bodendecker? Eine Rotala? Da konnte ich einfach nicht anders, ich musste sie haben. Sie ist bei mir in 3 Becken: Eines mit Soil und Co2, eines mit Soil ohne co2 und eines mit Kies ohne Co2. Ich bin gespannt wo sie sich wie entwickeln wird. Aber eine kleinbleibende Rotala ist ja quasi ein Traum. Hätte ich diese früher entdeckt wäre mein 100l Aquarium sicher nicht mit Eleocharis bedeckt sondern mit dieser Rotala.
I had to wait a long time for it, but the wait was worth it! It took almost 2 weeks to acclimate, first roots were visible after approx. 3 days.

Wunderschöne Pflanze
Ich musste lange auf Sie warten, das Warten hat sich jedoch gelohnt!
Sie hat jetzt knapp 2 Wochen zur Eingewöhnung gebraucht, erste Wurzeln waren nach ca. 3 Tagen sichtbar.
Mittlerweile kommen viele schöne Seitentreibe und sie fängt an richtig loszulegen. Die Farbe der Neuaustriebe reicht von saftig rot bis pink. Wunderschön!
Becken wird mit 25 mg Co2 bei ca. 80 lumen/Liter versorgt.
