Identifying 2 plants

[boyen]

Hi Guys,

Could you help me identify 2 plants in my tank.

The first one is a background plant approx. 15-20'' tall. The second is a foreground plant approx. 1-2'' tall.

Thanks!

First is a sword of some sort, second is an anubias for sure.

Fast reply. Thanks. The first one has a very large stem and the leaves are more or less floating on the surface of the water. Is this a sword?

I will see if I can get a better picture tomorrow.

Well, my bulbs do that. It could be a kind of bulb. Look up some pics and see if they look similar. Could still be sword, need some better pics.

A better picture of the first plant. Any ideas what it is?

 

[Nils]

Not so sure about it being a sword anymore, I honestly have no clue.

Looks like anubias and a poorly trimmed belheri sword
Trim all those huge leaves and let the smaller leaves catch up and youll get bushier more uniformed growth

I did som research and think it's a radican sword. It was pretty big when I got it with very long stems. Fits the description of a radican sword pretty good. Found this picture through google:

Looks like a oriental sword

I thought so too initially. But the oriental sword is known for the semi-transparent pink coloration of new leaves. Mine are all light green.

Make sure your Sword gets some root tabs. They are heavy root feeders.
