Nice looking plant. I read up on it, South American plant fast grower with easy care. Says it is great to prevent algae since it grows fast & a great nitrogen sponge. When it takes hold I'd be interested in a clipping or 2 for my SA tank?  8)

Looks similar in structure to water cabbage (samolus parviflorus)
