Hi ! I’m a beginner and I just set up and cycled my first tank and began adding fish a couple days ago. I planted the tank about 3 weeks ago and everything seems to be healthy. I have a couple java ferns and some java moss that seem to be doing fine so far.
I also got a free plant from a friend but he wasn’t exactly sure what it was, and I have no idea. It looks like it’s getting ready to spawn (roots and little stem growing from the leaves) and I was hoping someone could help me ID it so I can make sure the little ones survive and help fill out the rest of my tank since I’m on a budget and can’t afford to buy as many plants as I’d like. I attached it to a rock with some string and it appears to be doing fine, but I can always plant it in the substrate as well. I just kinda took a guess, considering the rest of my plants aren’t supposed to be buried in the substrate. Attaching a picture below. Thank you so much ! EDIT: also , if someone could give me a link as to how and when I should detach or move the baby plant from the mother or how best to do all of that id really appreciate it.
