Hydrocotyle verticillata

Newplant I'm interested in trying Hydrocotyle verticillata AKA Marsh Pennywort or AKA Whorled Pennywort. I googled about tonight and couldn't find online stores that have it in stock. If you have this plant in your aquarium and could spare a few, please write me a note.

For now, I settled on Hydrocotyle leucocephala AKA Brazilian Pennywort. I found it in stock on AquariumPlants.com. This would be my first purchase from this aquarium plant store.

Leucocephala looks just as nice as verticillata from the few pictures I found on the net.

It's supposed to be a tough, fast-growing plant. It should contrast nicely with the other types of plants I already have in my aquaria.

Notes from the plant dealer advise to not shade with taller plants. It is apparently also very difficult to find or is substituted with undesirables.
