What kind of plants are those? On the last pic?
It's hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, AKA hydrocotyle sp. "Japan"
Yes, I realize that they're two different plants, but here in the US both names usually mean the same plant.It is sibthorpiodes, correct - however japan and sibthorpiodes are two different plants, albeit similar looking.

So is a low light plant? How does it spread? Any advice on how to make it healthier? Mine has 2 little leaves
Thanks now i finally know what that plant is.
That was definitely true when sp. Japan was new to the states. Many people thought that it was Sibthorpioides with a new name to make it more exciting - however as it gained popularity, differences were noticed. By now, most people acknowledge that they are different and sell them as such.
Thanks for the thread rating
Yeah, I see your point. I thought it was worthy of a rating, since those CRS look awesome. What have you been/will you be feeding them? I've been feeding mine Mosura CRS Specialty food and they seem to love it.
I'll be feeding them ken's mini veggie sticks, some barley pellets from speedie, and fresh spinach. I think I have a bit of Jake's om nom nom somewhere as well.
Sounds good. Do you have cholla wood or anything in the tank with them? I recommend adding something like if you haven't already.
Yup, I have a few ugly "outcast" pieces of cholla that I'm going to put in there. They're not going to look pretty, but whatever The shrimp matter more by a long shot.
