That plant on the far left doesn't look like An aquatic one. Visited some other threads that said the same thing about that plant. Or similar looking one.

Guys my first planted setup. I have a ehiem classic 350 and co2 output of 3bps. Light is 39w x4 T5 on with CO2 for 6 hours.
Any things I need to take care of or things to improve? Comments greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lucky bamboo local name of that plant. Non aquatic, but can last a while before rot.

Local bamboo. I thought the plants I get from seaview should all be aquatic. That interesting. Thanks for highlighting.
I am in my first week of cycling with plants and sera flordepot fertilizer. Seems that my HC starting to turn brown. How sad is that.
Next, I realized there are fungus on the plants too. What should I do? Why are there fugus though I am not feeding.

This looks just nice for turtle tank... Nicely first scape with path
Aquascaper?
The hc turning brown could be a conversion from emersed to submerged form. Was it in water when you bought it?
Try growing some stem plants at the back as backdrop of the tank. (Do not cover the white path portion)
