    Hi

    I have a lot of plants in my tanks but don't know what kind they are or what are their names, Scientific or common. If anyone knows their real names, scientific and common, I would realy appreciate it. I do know some and I did go through the sticky's and other plant id's but not sure. Totaly newby at this and would like to know what I have in my tank and if any are blacklisted perhaps. So here goes...

    I like them too, difficult to get them to grow/take. Got lucky with one out of 5 of them, so got these and giving them a go, so far so good.
