    Plant 1 is a long stemlike plant which was starting to rot from the bottom so those are the top clippings

    my ones are also starting to rot from the bottom, maybe its not aquatic, looking around on google I cant find it. My plant encyclopedia shows that it looks a bit like myriophyllum aquaticum or milfoil
    Max Photo - Mix Album - Myriophyllum aquaticum

    The myriophyllum leaves are feathered where this plant's leaves are single stick like grassy leaves

    You asking the WRONG person here. I don't really bother with plant names. If I like them, I buy them. If I don't like them, I don't. Simple. Knowing their latin names, english names, common names and which family they belong to doesn't interest me at all... and I personally see no benefit to me. I like, I buy. If it grows, I pass clippings on, if it dies, I take it out.

    1. Eriocaulon cenerium
    2. Hydrocotyl sp ?
    3. Aponogeton would be my guess... Possibly Cryptocoryne balansae, but if it has a bulb, then Aponogeton for sure.
    4. Definitely looks like a Cryptocoryne to me.
    5. Looks like Hygrophilia polysperma
    6. Hydrocotyl sp ?
    7. Ludwigia repens sp Rubin
    8. Myaca fluvialis
    9. Amazon Sword... Possibly Echinodorus cardifolius

    Hope they are correct...

    @ Sean J Thanx a million.
    3. Looks like the other Aponogenton plants I have but the others don't have bulbs like these.
    4. @Henk Hugo gave me the name at the expo...
