I just bought new plants from the LFS and they weren't labeled, i just liked how they looked, lol. Link (http://www.stephenlease.com/cgi-bin//emAlbum.cgi?cmd=show_thumbs&path=Fish/10%20Gallon%20-%20Week%204&tn=1)

The plants I need identified are the one on the very far left back with green broad leaves and white spots on the leaves. Also the one just to the right of the silk red plant with the circular leaves. I think you can see them best in the second picture.

Thanks!

The plant on the far left with white spots is called an "aluminum plant," which is actually one of many names I've seen it named. I've never seen an actual identifying label for this plant. Unfortunately, it's not a true aquatic plant, but rather a bog (emmersed) plant. It will eventually die underwater.

The other plant is a Hydrocotyle leucocepahla. It's very easy to grow and can be used as a floating plant if you wish.
