I.D. Help please

I was hoping I could get an I.D. if possible please. This plant was given to me a couple of weeks ago. I'm very new to tanks.

Thank you.

I'm mostly curious as to what the one on the left is, by the red rocks. I know the other is some type of sword.

Ive been having a problem with my plants turning yellowish, then starting to decay brown from the edges. Even my new anubias has a brown hole or two in its leaves now after only a week.

I had a phosphate remover pad in my filter for some reason but took it out a week ago same day I put in the anubias.. Im getting green spots too.

But i can save all that for the algae section I guess hah!

I don't have much for ferts right now, Im kinda clueless on that still too but I bet I need Phosphates....

Well 42 people either didn't know what my plant is, or didn't care. Thanks alot :biggrin:.


Am assuming Anubias Minimas or something like that. Heck I don't care enough to keep coming back here.

Adios :proud:
