Hmm kinda hard to tell for me. I think the one on the far right of the 2nd pic might be most type of Sword, maybe Urguguay Sword.

Hopefully these pics are better.

Thanks for the help!!!!

Hopefully these pics are better.

1. Perhaps a Sword
2. Idk but not aquatic
3. Idk but not aquatic
4. Idk but might be aquatic

IMO I would remove 2 and 3. They look like house plants.

The 2nd one isn't aquatic (ribbon plant). Ill look up the name of the 3rd one right now.

Edit- nymphoidis taiwan

Okay, now I'm on the fence with #3 (lotus of some type) but still leaning towards non aquatic

The first one i bought at pet smart in a plastic tube in gel....but the last three at petco and they were actually submerged in an aquarium could it be possible they could have made a mistake?

I agree with Fresh2o, after looking at the new pics I think the latter 3 are non-aquatic plants; I had my suspicions that they were.

Side note: From what I've heard and from my own personal experience, when I first started with live plants, Petco is notorious for selling non-aquatic plants as aquatic plants. I would suggest doing some reading and online reseach before buying plants.

Ohhhh great! Whats the worst that could have happen? Im new to plants obviously?

Out of the last three, two are aquatic. The green/white plant is not an aquatic plant, but the Lily type plant is what was already suggested, and the last is emersed grown wisteria, I believe.

I cant thank you guys enough for the help may i ask where you are looking these up is there an online website i can search for properties of plants? And the one you say is not you are referring to the white and green sword plant right? But the one with the lily leaves is.

The white and green leaves ribbon plant is not aquatic. All of the others are.

The website I use the most when I research plants is: liveaquaria.com by drfostors&smith. I've found it be very helpful.

They give you a brief bio of the plant, along with its care level, water conditions, lighting requirements, tank placement, etc.
