I dont really know what they are. some are ecognisable but some arent. The LFS that I baught them from had odd names for them so I am not too sure. Anyhow, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Looks like a potted anubias, an amazon sword in the back, I'd say the tallest stems in the middle were foxtail but they're kinda scrawny.

Is that java fern 2nd from the left?

Listen! Do you smell that?

The potted one looks more like a crypt than an anubias
Just a thought.

The one in the pot front and centre is a crypt. The one to the back right is a blue stricta that soem gouramis savaged.

Now the ones on the sides... I was told they are 'bella palms' by the LFS owner. The one second in from the fert I am told is a 'red dragon flame' and the one centre back was a pogo(something) stricthi(something) .

I very much doubt the names that the LFS person gaave to these plants.

how sure are you actually that the so-called "bellas" are aquatic? I just took a look at my 'Chamaedorea elegans" on the window sill in front of me ... they are also labelled as 'dwarf palm neanthe bella' ....
described as slow growing, low light nd moderately moist soil ... strictly NOT aquatic! On the bright side you got yourself two decent little dwarf palms that you might enjoy on your window sill!

There is the pogo plant that I have. or a different species.

Its the one someone called a foxtail.

I'm almost positive that those palms aren't aquatic. They might survive in a terrarium or something like that, but they're not strictly aquatic and won't survive in a tank for a long period of time. I don't think there's many aquatic plants that have that sort of palm-like arrangement of their leaves.

The only "palm" plant I could find on plantgeek was considered non-aquatic and had the note that it would rot and pollute the tank.

Also, I found this list of non-aquatics sold as aquatics at Aquatic Plant Resource and bella palm is the first one listed. Maybe find a nice pot outside of your tank for it?
