    1: Hygrophila corymbosa - Giant Hygro (Looks almost the same, yours is a little gray, but that could be the light)
    2: Green One: Looks like Ludwigia ovalis or repens
    2: Red one: Could be Alternanthera reinekii
    3: Is a dead plant. It is safe to add to an aquarium! LOL!

    the plant on the right used to be some kind of a tree, probably mopani,guava, or vine

    im also interested in the one on the left, because the lfs is stocking it at the moment in potch

    I'm pretty sure it's H. corymbosa, it's a super easy plant. Just give it light and a bit of ferts and it grows like mad!!

    Looks quite cool...

    I do think you need some foreground plants. When you get your flame moss from the prof ask him for some Echinodorus quadricostatus to use as a foreground plant. Then I think it will look alot more natural.

    Has that tank been previously treated for White Spot?? I know my silicon went blue green when I had treated mine! Stsyed that way for about a year before finally fading!

    Nice tank tho dude! You guys always impress me with your scaping ability!!

    Cheers
