Can anyone tell me what plants these are? I failed to take notice of the names until recently when I figured that each of these plants would require certain conditions in order to get enough nutrients and what not. At the time I was convinced that there were just plants and I was told at the store that all I needed was to simply plant them and be done with it, however I have seen little to no growth from some that have been in the tank for over the summer.

In the order presented:

1) Probably some sort of rotala, but hard to tell for sure in that picture.
2) Java Fern
3) A non-aquatic fern, probably peacock
4) Hard to tell, I'm thinking a Bolbitis fern ("African Water Fern"), could also be another non-aquatic fern.
5) Water Wisteria
6) Toughy. It actually looks alot like Hyptis Lorentziana, could also be a bacopa sp. I would very much like a closer/better pick of it.
7) Some crypt. Lucens or wendtii 'green' are good candidates.
8) Dwarf hairgrass.


Some of your plants look like they're having serious light issues. What kind of light do you have?
