    Can help id these 2 plants?
    The fern like on the left and the bladed leaves one on the right?
    For the fern like plant, can it grow sideways, as in carpet like? Mine is getting taller.

    I cannot tell what the plants on the left are, but the plants on the right are an Eriocaulon species. Some are marsh plants which do not like to be submersed all the time so you might want to do some reading. Also, they are supposed to be planted in the substrate. I don't think they'll grow epiphytic roots to hold on to the driftwood.

    You're welcome. Be very careful of what plants you get, because there are terrestrial plants that are being sold as aquatic plants. Some will leech sap into the water if a branch breaks or rots in the water, and thus killing your fish.

    If you can, try to take a clearer shot of the plant on the left. Most plant mad hobbyists can tell what species it is from just a glance, if the picture is clear enough to make out the details, like the leaf shape etc.
