Got these plants at petco today, but the employees didn't know what they were. Any ideas?








In case the picture Isnt good enough, the second plant has a bunch of reddish leaves.

From Petco? Then my guess is...

Pic 1: Bacopa Caroliniana, aka "Lemon Bacopa"

Pic 2: Alternanthera Ficoidea, aka "Joseph's Coat"
This is not an aquatic plant and will do horribly.
I could very well be wrong but this is the plant I have found that Petco (in my area) commonly sells incorrectly as a Ludwigia Sp.

I'm 60% sure it's not bacopa. I have some in the tank already and it looks way different.
I was actually thinking the red one was ludwigia repens but my knowledge of plants is pretty sub par

It looks like lemon bacopa to me also. The stem thickness is telling, to me. The second looks like ludwigia. Can you isolate a single stem of each for a photo?

This is what I have in the tank currently that is supposed to be lemon bacopa. The new plants look different to me.

That looks more like moneywort to me.

I got it from one of those petsmart gel package things and it was labeled on the box as bacopa caroliana (or something like that)

It could be, those tissue culture plants are much smaller than the plants they are cloned from. I have had some dhg for over a month that has spread a lot but grown very little.

Are you thinking of bacopa monnieri by chance?

Hmmm I'm not really sure what I'm thinking of at this point, I really wish they would have been labeled lol.
