No idea what it is but it sure has grown . Does it propagate with runners or are you taking trimmings and replanting them ?

Looks like hygrophyla polysperma to me, though I'm no expert

It propagate by runners, I just trim the top to keep it in check!

I'm pretty sure that is Hemianthus micranthemoides ( pearl weed ) under high light you can get it to carpet! I've had pearl weed before looked like your picture

Looks like hygrophyla polysperma to me, though I'm no expert The leaves are a lot smaller! They are tiny compared to hygrophyla polysperma! |

I can't believe I couldn't find it! Well it is easier when you got a clue what are you looking for! Thanks Steve! If you don't mind what happened to your pearl weed that you don't have it any longer! Mine is growing fairly slow, with medium light, no frets, and minimal algae growth on it! |

No problem! I guess over time with moving and changing things around I've just weaned it out for something else...
