You are planning on removing them from the pots right ? Gently pull them from the plastic pot, and carefully pull the rockwool from the root bundle. Then if the roots are tangled gently pull them apart a bit to help unbind them and place in substrate. If there's more than one plant in a pot they should be divided and planted close but seperatly. ^_^ [hr width='40%']"I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe"

They are more like terrarium plants, they will live for a while submerged, but soon will start to rot, you can keep them, just pay close attention to them and when they start turning a little yellow, take them out, smell the roots, if you regret doing that because of the smell, it's time to toss them to the garbage.

Since they are potted, you may want to take the plants out of your aquarium to photograph them. How many watts of light wil;l you have on the tank? What are the dimensions of the tank? What will you be using for substrate? Let us know the answers and we can help you with plant recommendations! __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
