    "long thing looks like a species of Cabomba

    "sword thingy" looks like it could be a type of vallis or saggitaria, not sure of the difference

    "big leafed thing" might be amazon sword

    OK... you guys are no help... I'm now going to refer to my plants as

    "Green plant #1"
    "Green plant #1 with roots"
    "Green plant #1 with roots and snails eggs"
    "Green plant #2"
    "Green plant #2 with chewed leaf"

    So Madam... How is "Green plant #6 with polysideracus" doing in your tank?

    Okay Zoom - I caught the hint....LoL. When I get home tonight I'll pull out my plant books and see if I can ID them......I just always read this post when I'm here at work and don't have my books with me.

    Come on Henk - your input is worth MUCH more than R2.50 :D:D

    Where's Eskimo?? He knows his plants very well too......:)
