    Hi, it's very neatly tied up on the pebble and mesh, can ask your friend to post picture of the whole tank for our viewing. Thanks.

    You look like you have a 1-1.5 FT tank, are these the number of plants you are going to finalise? Its isnt so much as filling up the space in the tank, but a preventive measure against algae growing if tanks are setup sparely planted.

    we've got a driftwood that's still soaking... and moss to plant on it once's its in, as well as the java ferns to tie to it. probably will get more plants once the driftwood sets in (it kinda occupies everything)

    Anyhow, no IDs for the moss and that plant?

    My Guess: The plants on the wire mesh is echinodorus tenellus. The plants in the 3 pots in the background is windelov fern. I am not sure of the moss ID though (star moss?).

    Eh nope.. doubt it will grow tht big cuss there is no stem.

    After much searching, my fren-linuswee found it and it is called Chendol plant/Ah Pek plant. (sci.name: Utricularia graminifolia)

    Chendol plant is commonly referred to as Utricularia graminifolia. (It's much smaller than what you have in that picture.)

    Ah Pek plant is commonly referred to as Elatine triandra. (It's a completely different plant, go search for the picture.)

    All these nicknames are really creating havoc for local hobbyists.

    What you have on the mesh is a Lilaeopsis sp.

    should be grasswort or microsword. But believe MS usually refers to pgmy sword grass= e. tenellus. They are fairly new by the way, only saw c328 started bringing them in couple of weeks back.
