    1. Definitely a crypt. Could be Wendetii green.
    2. Hygrophylia angustifolia.
    3. Elodea. Not really a great plant, but it will grow.

    Thank you @Sean J , would I be able to keep the crypt in a low tech setup with moderate light, or will it just melt?

    Crypts are super easy. Low light, very little Co2. It will do fine. They might melt when introduced to the tank, but leave them, they will generally bounce back and grow again. It's their leaves that are grown out of water dying back, making way for their submerged growth to spring up.

    No no, I am pretty sure the ones with the long leaves are in fact fish, and those are fins, not leaves. I believe them to be Angels.

    (Sorry, I couldn't resist :tongue:)

    Haha, I think there are like 13 angels in the pic JJfury.

    Thanks Sean, I have never kept them just heard that they melt when not kept properly
