Chears mate would it matter if i left them in or would it be best to take them out. what would you use these plants for then if not for a tropical tank.

they are not meant to be submerged. If you leave them in they will rot and foul up your tank.
If you can return them back to petco or which ever lfs you got them for a replacement
