    Hi all, I just started out a tank and bought some plants.. can someone help ID the plant on the far right? All my plants are doing well in my tank except for this one, whose leaves are turning yellow/limp. I am thinking that it probably has different requirements from the rest of m plants? But I can't do research on it cos I don't even know what plant it is.. Thanks for the help! plant.jpg

    water wisteria, or like what shadow mentioned, hygrophila‑difformis.

    Its a low requirement plant. What other plants do you have in there?
    temperature, fert dosage, soil, lighting intensity, photoperiod?

    Those metal weights are not necessary. They are made of lead and should not be left in the aquarium unless necessary. If you have difficulty keeping live plants alive in the tank, my suggestion is to switch to a hardy plant like Anubias nana, or go with plastic plants.
