I got the ones in the first pic years ago and I don't know what they are either. Lol

#1 Amazon sword, #2 anubias Nana, #3 maybe, dwarf sagittaria. Hard to say with the grass one it could be a baby of a different kind. I'm pretty sure on the other 2 though. They look good!

#3 looks like mondo grass

Mondo grass? lol Maybe I should plant it outside in spring.

Leaves look too dark and the dermis looks “thick” (as in terrestrial). You can put it in a pot near a window for now. Plants that are not aquatic are often mislabeled as aquatic plants.

Yep, Amazon Sword, Anubias, Java moss and some sort of terrestrial grass style plant. You can leave it, but it will eventually die back. If you're looking for something similar to that, try dwarf sag. or a smaller helanthium species.

I got some frog bit and it has quite a bit of green hair algae with it. I have it floating in a cup in my QT tank. I've been sick and cut my finger pretty bad so it's been sitting. I'm planning on doing the H202 dip, but I am wondering if it is bleach safe?

H2O2 dip, rinse, heavy dose of Seachem Excel directly following.
No bleach require with that method

My beautiful spiral Val melted away and the fish/snails took care of the leaves. I have root tabs in the gravel hoping it will make a comeback. The Anubias is the happiest plant in the tank it keeps growing nicely. The Echinodorus bleheri isn't too happy but the other type of amazon sword is pretty nice. I've decided to do the rescape next month with black colored blasting sand. My biggest challenge will be finding a light that doesn't cost a fortune so my plants will do better. The light will have to penetrate 21.6 inches -tall tank. AqAdvisor says my tank is 35.2 gallons. Also considering upgrading to a 55 gallon instead. Decisions, decisions. I really don't like how tall this current tank is.

The new light I just got is pretty nice, and gets to the bottom of my 75g. Same depth. It's got all the colors and a remote. I looked at reviews and watched you tube videos before I bought one and liked what I seen for the price. They have it on sale now. Might wanta check it out. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/252707911670

There is some life left in the melted spiral val which gives me hope. Three days ago I hired some Oto cats and wow my brown algae (diatoms) are gone , I mean GONE. They have fat tummy's so I do hope they will be ok long term, they are so fun to watch!
