Hi,
I have this 1ft small tank in my office as shown in picture...can't seem to find their name in the web (manybe I miss it).... can anyone let me know their name? (labeled A, B,C,D,E)
another thing, I do not know what nutrient is lacking cos the big fern plant seems to grom new stem but all in yellowish green instead of the normal light green.
I use Fluorish organic liquid CO2 for my tank and Ocean Free liquid fertiliser. Only the Java Moss grows nicely, dark green.
For substrate, I only use gravels.
Thanks for any help.

A. looks like Limnophila Serssiflora
B. Not sure but could be realted to above.
C. 'Looks' like christmas moss.
D. Looks like Sagittaria Sabulata.
If your plants are appearing a bit yellowish then you can safely add some trace ferts to rectify the problem.
the moss looks like peacock or spiky moss to me!

I think Happy Camper meant to say that (E) is like Christmas moss.
(D) In my opinion, is Sagittaria platyphylla
(C) Looks like Blyxa Japonica that is in pretty bad shape.

My take:
A. Limnophila Serssiflora
B. Not sure. Seen this before but cannot recall or ID offhand.
C. Echinodoras tenellus
D. Sagittaria sabulata
E. Spiky moss or something similar (like mini moss)

What is trace ferts?Originally Posted by Happy Camper
Sorryy, a bit ignorant.... still new
Trace ferts are liquid fertilisers bought from any LFS, contains iron and other trace minerals necessary for good photosynthesis, a lack of these will turn your plants yellowish and give them a washed out look.
Sorry about the jumble up on the plant ID's, I was in a hurry
I am already using liquid fertilizer for quite sometimes, but I didn't see any improvement on the plant especially on plant A,B & C... there r turning brown and rot... the new born stems are yellwish and some rotten ends.... but it still growingTrace ferts are liquid fertilisers bought from any LFS, contains iron and other trace minerals necessary for good photosynthesis, a lack of these will turn your plants yellowish and give them a washed out look.

Yellow leaves are telltale signs of Iron deficiency, unfortunately you can't save your current batch of leaves but new leaves should be okay when the iron is 'ironed' out.

Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.

Methinks the yellow is due to colour cast from lighting or water. Observe how everything including the "ALEX" in the picture is yellow-ish.
Plants look like they could do with a helping of NPK before adding the trace.

B=Limnophila aquatica!
You can if you dare to fail - Stan Chung
but each segment turning brown and rot already.... even the new born stem also rot
all other plants look not healthy, brown, yellow and light green mixed except the moss, which is still dark green and growing nice.
Use some TMG (tropica master grow), what I know one of the best iron + trace element liquid fertilizer out there. Just using excel (source of carbon)will not do as the plants will be lacking of trace elements which is essensial for their life support. I can see that the tank is stocked quite heavy so macro elements perhaps not a serious issue.
If you still have rotting parts, there must be something else wrong, such as not enough lighting level... (and that is why it is important to list tank specs to solve problems).
But if Limnophila can turn yellow, macro might be an issue...
mine is a small 1ft tank, I used gravels only.... is this insufficient for the plant? for lighting I use those normal 13W PL light tube.but each segment turning brown and rot already.... even the new born stem also rot
