    hi, i brought these 2 plants from LFS. they were not identified in the shop. i also dunno why i just kuku pick them. can anyone help me to identify them?

    the red plant seems to be losing its red. saw lots of leaves coming off since i planted it in my tank ard a week ago. the green plant also have some fallen leaves/branches while having quite some holes and seem ravaged. can anyone tell me what's wrong with them?

    i have yamato shrimps, neon tetra and otto in the tank. i know otto shldn't touch plants. could my neon tetra and yamato shrimps be the reason then?

    1st photo look like emerse water sprite but not really sure though.
    The red plant look like Alternanthera sp

    How is your setup specification? tank dimension, light wattage, CO2, fertilizer, substrate, etc

    the tank's dimension is 26x21x28cm(height).

    i don't have light wattage. using a small clip on lamp consisting of multiple LEDs. 3rows of 8 white LEDs and 1row of 4blue LEDs.

    substrate just simple cheap cheap small black gravel stones of >0.5cm kind. $4 1 big packet kind.

    no fertilizer used at the moment.

    don't have test kit to test for CO2 level at the moment.

    eh... first time setting up tank so when i was buying the stuff (substrate etc), i just got the basic stuff the shop person told me to. was going for budget.
