Hi, can you guys identify these two plants? What are their requirements?
1) I got this plant at PetLand because my girlfriend liked it, but the guy at the store could not identify it. It seems to be doing better in my tank because of the new green leaves and because it is giving out small bubbles (oxygen?).
It closes up its leaves at night, and opens them back again when the light comes back on.
2) This one came in with some moneywort I got at PetSmart. It must have been floating when the girl took the other one. Anyways, it has grown some roots, and possibly a runner. It has been a really slow grower, and most of its leaves are dark green (I think its algae). I tried cleaning it with my finger tips but it is stuck and a piece of a leave came off.
Sorry the picture is not more clearer on this last one but all the lower part of the aquarium has algae.
Thanks,
