Does anyone know the name of the tall plants in my 10 gallon? (the ones skimming the surface). Also the red stemmed plant in the foreground

Yes, I think they are the crypts. Thanks! Now to figure out the red stemmed plant. :lol:
 
The one in the front also looks like a crypt although it's a little hard for me to tell from the pic. Could be lucens, lutea, wendtii green or something else.
 
Ok so I googled images of all of them. I think it looks most like the lucens. Most of the pictures had green stems, unlike mine, but a couple had red so maybe there are different varieties? lutea had slightly shorter/stouter leaves and wendtii leaf was to wavy. I am going to call it lucens! Thanks so much now I can get some more info on how to properly grow these plants :)
 
Yup, like most crypts it's a very undemanding plant. Just place a root tab under/near it every so often and that's about it!
