Help with plant ID

Ozzietx · 07-02-2012, 01:27 AM

Hello people,

I have been patiently waiting for the last 6 months for my emmersed plants to fill in. I have come across a few things growing that I did not introduce
and cannot identify. I am hoping some of you can help me with some identifications. They are all interesting to me, so I think I am pleasantly surprised.
I have some spiky thread looking stuff mixed in with Marsilea, as well as a lettuce
looking plant. I have some unusual runners on the glass that I cannot identify.

The red palm tree looking plant I also can't identify.

The last is one of several snail looking creatures.

All of the plants in my tank were obtained from members here.

Thanks in advance for any help.

At first glance, the first one looks like hygrophila pinnatifida.

Agreed. Although the internodes look really short.

Second pic with spiky stuff looks like some type of hair/sting algae. Clado?

Third pic is Utricularia gibba

Fourth looks like a crypt.

Thanks for the input.

In the 4th pic what I am trying to identify is the stuff that is below the Crypt and is not the Marsilea.
