did i get fake aquatic plants...yes from petco

[m-man]

i have these 2 plants and they were growing good, and now they both stopped, everything else in the tank is growing good, these 2 have stopped, and are turning black/getting algae on them/not pearling, can anyone identify them as untrue aquatic?

The top one looks just like my lucky bamboo sprout but I don't think it is.

The bottom one looks like it may be Mondo Grass. I would say that probably 75% have made that mistake. The same goes for Green Hedge, Aluminum Plants, Brazilians Swords, etc. The list goes on and on....

The top one is hard to tell since the picture is so green, but I think it looks like Dracaena sanderiana, commonly sold as a "sandy" and not a true aquatic. It's actually very close to that lucky bamboo!

Sorry :-(

Yeah, Rabbits love the mondograss. It definately grows better where the rabbits can munch on it if you catch my drift.
