Rumors of my expiration from the hobby have been greatly exaggerated.

So I got an assortment of plants in. And while they're not what I asked for...at least 80% aren't....maybe they're worth it. I don't know. I'm not happy with the overall experience period.

But anyway. I know what some of these are, but I'd like verification from you expertses.

Pictures can be found here: http://www.digitalphantasy.com/images/aquarium

Pictures are basically a full view of the pouch containing the plants, and then a close up of the leaves.

You might also find pictures of a bare tank and new black veil angelfishes! They're like, easter eggs or something.

Listen! Do you smell that?

Oh also...if anybody knows if any of these plants would survive in a non-aquarium, high-humidity terrarium/bog type environment, please say so as well. I'm in the process of constructing a Dart Frog vivarium, and looking for plants to put in that.

Listen! Do you smell that?

I see hornwort and anacharis in there (two of the stem plants). They're both cheap, fast-growing, low-light plants. Some of the others look familiar (one looks like moneywort or pennywort, maybe?), but I don't have a huge knowledge of plants that I don't keep

I would contact where you bought the plants from and return all the unknowns at their costs.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

OK.. here's my guess on them (may be completely wrong on a few of them)

#28 & #29 - Elodea/ anacharis
#30 & #31 - Hydrophila sp.
#32 & #33 - Marsilea sp.
#34 & #35 - Lysimachia nummularia
#36 & #37 - Hydrophila sp.
#38 - Micranthermum micranthemoides
#39 & #40 - Ludwigia repens
#41 & #42 - ?
#43 & #44 - ?
#45, 46, 47, 48 & 49 - Cabomba &/or hornwort
#50 & #51 - Nomaphila sp.
#52 & #53 - bacopa monnieri

With the flowers I can see in some of those packs it looks like they were grown at least partly emersed - you'll probably notice a bit of die-off or change in some of those plants once they go into your tanks and you'll likely need to keep ferts & lighting high initially to help them adjust (or you might be able to use them in your new viv )

Good luck with them.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
