Hi Tony. Its the one with the big round leaves in the bottom left corner. Here's a webpage about the banana plant:

http://www.aqualandpetsplus.com/Plant,%20Banana.htm

In less than a week, it has shot up a stem to the surface of the tank (not shown in these outdated pics). It is like a mini-water lily. Eventually, some stems will have white flowers at the water surface from pictures I've seen.

If you ever plan on going cichlid...just remember that casualties are about as common as air! anyways nice tank and u have the ideal habitat for breeding guppys...fully planted, tons of hiding places, and peaceful habitat....most important!

It looks great--I really like it!

Question--do you add CO2? And did you use any special sort of substrate for planted tanks?

Thanks. No, I'm not dosing CO2. Substrate is Florabase.
