LOL keep it wet?...its one of the easiest to keep..

#3 might be a lacy java fern?...

 

[lockert81]

Lol thats good news. Only had it 10 days and noticed growth on it already. Should I be taking them out of the pots?

 

[Demonknight]

probably, the stuff they use in the pots is usually called rock wool and isn't good for the tanks in the long run. good news is the wisteria is mostly a water feeder, not roots, about half of mine is just floating around the top of the tank..doesn't help that my angel thinks it HAS to have some floating or it will tear a piece off of the ones in the gravel.

Lol all my fish seem to have a nip at all my plants but not noticed and big chunks floating about yet

#1 looks like water sprite to me.
#3 looks like peacock fern, a non-aquatic often sold as aquatic.
#2 cold either be mondo grass (also not aquatic) or Cyprus helferi, but its hard to say from those pics. Also looks like some ludwigia species in the front.

#3 is Peacock fern, my friend uses it a lot in her terrariums.
