Lilaeopsis mauritiana
Narrow-leaved micro sword that creates dense carpets. Slightly taller than L. brasiliensis. Spreads by runners across the substrate.
Lilaeopsis New Zealand
Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae
Fine-leaved grass-like plant that forms low carpets. One of the easier carpet plants — tolerates lower light than most. From New Zealand.
Limnophila Aromatica
Limnophila aromatica
Limnophila aromatica is a stunning stem plant with leaves that shift from green to vibrant purple-red under high light and good iron supplementation. Used extensively in Dutch-style aquascaping, it provides brilliant colour contrast in the background.
Limnophila Aromaticoides
Limnophila aromaticoides
Aromatic stem plant with whorled needle-like leaves. Develops purple-red tips under high light. Fine, feathery texture.
Limnophila Hippuridoides
Limnophila hippuridoides
An elegant Limnophila with longer, finely serrated leaves arranged in whorls. Under intense light the leaves turn vivid pink to purple, creating striking colour columns for Dutch and Nature Aquarium style. Requires CO2 and good fertilisation for the best colour expression but grows vigorously once established.
Limnophila Rugosa
Limnophila rugosa
Unique Limnophila with textured, slightly wrinkled leaves. Bronze-green coloration. Grows emersed beautifully too.
Limnophila Sessiliflora
Limnophila sessiliflora
Sometimes called Ambulia, this fast-growing stem plant produces dense whorls of fine, feathery leaves that resemble a soft green bottle brush. One of the most forgiving stem plants — it grows without CO2 injection and tolerates a wide pH range, making it ideal for beginner planted tanks.
Limnophila Vietnam
Limnophila sp. 'Vietnam'
Vietnamese variety with feathery whorled leaves that develop reddish-purple tones. Fast-growing background plant with great colour.
Lined Seahorse
Hippocampus erectus
Linke's Licorice Gourami
Parosphromenus linkei
Lionhead Goldfish

European native with rosettes of narrow, bright green leaves. Spreads by runners to form carpets. Does well in cooler water.
Lobelia Cardinalis
Lobelia cardinalis
A beautiful aquatic plant with round, bright green leaves above and reddish-purple undersides. It grows well in low to medium light without CO2, making it a good choice for lower-tech planted tanks.
Lobelia Small Form
Lobelia cardinalis
Compact rosette plant with spoon-shaped leaves — green on top, vivid purple underneath. One of the most striking two-tone aquascaping plants. Very adaptable and slow-growing. Excellent as a midground accent.

Longfin Rosy Barb
Pethia conchonius
Longfin Tiger Barb
Puntigrus tetrazona

Loreto Tetra
Hyphessobrycon loretoensis
Loxozonus Corydoras
Corydoras loxozonus

Ludwigia Arcuata
Ludwigia arcuata
Ludwigia Arcuata is a fine-leaved stem plant with narrow, needle-like leaves that turn deep red to orange-red under high light and iron-rich dosing, contrasting beautifully with broader-leaved green plants. It requires more light and nutrients than L. repens to achieve its signature colour. Frequent trimming promotes bushy side-shoot growth and prevents the lower stem from going bare.
