    The 2nd one look like Borneo fern I bought from SV last time. It turned brown but kept its shape very well. However on closer look, C328 fern looks a little different which I can't fully explan (a little light green and softer) and there it wrote "AQUA Fern". I didn't buy out of caution. You can try to treat them like aqua plants and tell us the result of your "discovery" later.

    Ermmmm.... I think the first one looks like Egeria densa:

    http://www.aquascapingworld.com/plan...php?item_id=97

    Plant Profile
    Scientific Name: Egeria densa
    Common Name: Elodea
    Difficulty: Very Easy
    CO2 Requirements: Very Low
    Lighting Requirements: Very Low
    Plant Arrangement: Background
    Growth Rate: Moderate
    Family: Hydrocharitaceae
    Genus: Egeria
    Origin: South America
    Plant Type: Stem
    Water Hardness: Medium (GH = 9-13 dH)

    Just an experience to share, for densa, during the initial period, the leaves will tend to melt. But not to worry, they are trying to acclimatise to your tank's water condition. Once they are done acclimatising, the leaves will grow out great and it will grow tall in no time.
