Can someone ID these plants?

[crazie.eddie]

I got 4 plants for $1.00 (USD) each from my LFS. He order allot of plants and these were not in any of the orders he had, so he sold them to me for $1.00 each. It was cheap, so I decided to buy them.

The only thing is, I don't know what type of plants they are. So can someone ID these plants please?






Once I find out what they are, then I'll look at their requirements.


Thanks

Looks like green cabomba and wisteria(Hygrophila difformis) to me.

yah, agreed, green cabomba (cabomba carollina) and hygro difformis

I got more plants, but the LFS I got these from didn't have names on them, just low light, medium, high. So can someone ID these plants?

This one had almost silver like leaves. Kind of cool looking.


This one resembled blades of grass.


This one looks similar to the above, except down the center was a lighter shade of yellow.


This one I liked, I may get more...

#1 parrot's feather
#2 Mondo grass (not aquatic)
#3 Acorus (not aquatic)
#4 Crytpicorne of some sort?
#5 Lileaopsis novazelandiae?

I bought some of the #1 before. That is the emersed form of the plant. It will grow submersed (under water), but the growth didn't have near the appeal as the emersed form, IMO. So, expect some changes in the look of that plant.

As to the #5, I'd recommend breaking that clump up a little bit and planting more individual segments of the plant. That plant grows via runners and when it's all bunched up like that, it doesn't spread well...if at all. I'll likely need to try that plant again, as my initial stock stayed all bunched up .

Number five could be lileaopsis brasiliensis. As said above, it does better and spreads faster if you break it up into smaller pieces.

Thanks. Regarding the non-aquatic plants, are they safe for fish? I'm concerned that if my fish try to take a nibble or so, they will die.

No not poisonous.....but they will wither and die. Also, what's with those rocks?

The rocks are Red Flint #20 from Diaz supply, which distributes Splish Splash gravel. I used them in my other tanks and look rather natural. Plus I've seen them in LFS around and they look nice. They're larger than sand, but smaller than typical gravel, as seen here....



The lighting I have doesn't do justice for it. I need to switch to one that shows off red more.

I use the gravel on my other tanks. I bought (2) 25 lbs of gravel from an LPS, which I paid close to $40.00 (USD). I found the distributer local in Plainfield, IL and found their bulk prices very cheap. I bought 100 lbs bag of the same gravel for under $30.00, so I returned the (2) 25 lbs of gravel I bought from the other LPS.

I thought it was dying, but it seemed to do well. When I went back to the LFS, he has some more in and a label for them.
