Sorry i just realised i jumped from No3 - No5. there is no pic No4

Pic 1 - reminds me of the lilies my banana plant sent up, but there's no banana's or underwater leaves. Very nice plant... when you figure out what it is, I may just be looking for one.

Pic 2 - can't tell. MIGHT be java moss... it's too blurry for me to tell. Does it have roots or did you just anchor some of it under the gravel? If it has true roots, then it's not java moss, but that's the best guess I can give you from that pic.

Pic 3 - some kind of fern/palm... I'm going to go with nonaquatic plant... if it is, then it's not going to last long in your tank.

Pic 5 - no ideas.

Pic 6 - Hornwort, cabomba... something like that, perhaps. Not sure.

Bah, I'm not very helpful, am I? Drat it all anyway. Well... I tried!

The pic no2 has no roots. and it is some kind of moss. No3 is funny you should say non aquatic. because the bloke in the fish shop said that he foudn ti hard to grow although he did sell it to me for £1.25 as an aquatic plant.

anyway i was given No5 from my dads friends pond. said it was water cress??

Possibly watercress... did a bit of research for you:

Apparently you may also have flowers...

I dunno the specifics of the plant, though apparently it makes a good addition to salads.

lol. I'm not sure about flowers considering my Red Bellied Piranhas just stripped it down to the stalk

I thought they were carnivores!!!]:|]:|]:|

don't tell me i have vegetarian Piranhas......before you ask no they arent pacus. Theres still some leaves left. That does look alot like my plant though.
