    Supyall.

    Can someone please id these plants, came across them in a wierd little pet store, they where named 'mixed deco'.The shop assistant had no idea.
    I am not too lazy to do research, its just that my internet bundle is almost up. And would like to hear it from the people who know.
    It would be much appreciated.

    oh damn dumbass, mybad
    Thanks for letting me know Big G, I would've sat all wondering why no one is responding or maybe all the plant gurus are sick of identifying plants for people.

    1st one is Hydrocotyle leucocephala - Brazilian pennywort....doesnt like high temps.
    2nd Alternanthera sessilis - high light requirements to maintain the red and for growth
    3rd looks like some kind of Sedge...
    4th is Dwarf hair grass - Eleocharis parva...BL unfortunately :(

    Nope - not much more than that it apears to be a Sedge (by the little "cones" on the end and that it was grown emersed for them to be there)... the Fern is Bolbitis hydolotti - an African fern - plant in spot that has a bit of flow - slow grower generally

    That's not Bolbitis.More likely Trichomanes javanicum,a bog plant.It will look much better in a paludarium than a aquarium.
