    except for your foreground plant, i think both the plants in the back ground are not aquatic plants. Good to change before the plants take root or worse, start rotting

    Nicely done, however i think newtank is correct in saying those in the back left (possibly back right too) are non-aquatic plants. I too bought plants that looked just like that from an aquatic store where they happily sold them to me with the belief they are aquatic plants. However they began to rot on me after about a month, and there was zero growth before they started rotting. I'd remove them before it messes up your water chemistry.

    As for the forground plant, your picture is a little bright, too bright for me to be able to see what plant it is i'm afraid.

    Thanks for replying. One of the big leaf background plant have been there for 6months! I simply add in the more of it + the small leave back ground plant and the foreground unknown plant few days ago.

    As for the foreground plant, here is another picture. Can someone help me ID it?
