    Thanks to Eric for his wonderful plants, I have turned my 1ft tank to a little forest. No CO2 used, hoping that the plants will survive and do okay.

    Really bad at plants name, so I don't even know for sure what I have.

    Yo,
    I think the centre rear plant is not aquatic. Unless its hydrophilia finas..

    Nite the left side plants, they will grow tall!

    Enjoy.
    I am balding but i am still young!

    Agree with Eric. The centre plants are not true aquatic plants. They will probably rot after a week or 2.

    Yup, I heard about that from GC too, I'm still looking for a replacement. I was thinking I can keep the wood and replace the plant but couldn't find anything that have the same effect and will do well in a low tech tank like mine.

    Looks very nice, I will try hunting for it in LFS. Thought I saw it somewhere but cannot remember where. Thanks!

    I think that an aquarium near Sago Lane has a wide variety. You could try checking it out!

    I will try there. I saw it at a LFS in pet street at Seragoon North today, he selling $9 a stalk. Is that normal? Don't remember it being so expensive.

    You may just be right, it looks very close to the pictures in the link you place and what I googled. I just hope they are, at least then the chances of them rotting away is lower.

    Those are definitely not aquatic.

    Bro, maybe you wanna replace it with anubia, it's a nice plant on DW & it's quite hardy...

    I just used water wisteria to replace them on Sunday. Let's see if they will grow and look good. Thanks for the introduction too. I will try them if the wisteria failed.

    A small update, the water wisteria are growing fast and the roots are extending itself over the driftwood reaching for the soil.
    Going to be trimming them soon, they are begining to overcast the bottom plants blocking their light.
