New plant additions to tank

by nicholas542

Hey got some new driftwood from the river, and some new plants. Picked up an Ozelot Sword, and a couple other sword species.

thank you. I had another small tree stump piece, but it wouldn't sink. I thought it looked strange floating on the surface.

I got a better pic that i submited for my planted tank. I just can't identify the new plants I got. The big one on the far left, and the four bright green larger ones are a mystery to me. Any suggestions on id for these plants would be nice. They came out of a display tank at my LFS.

rarely will an african dwarf frog come up out of water for it will very soon become dehydrated especially if there are lights overhead like yours...I was really only kidding

on the non-kidding basis, you can grow certain plants on the branch that sticks up out of the water as long as the water level is reduced somewhat, about 2 inches, so the lighting does not dry the leaves (some plants can live in water and live out of it)

or you can purchase several mystery snails that can live in water and out of it

(((just a thought)))
