doh. (need help id'ing plants? please!!) edit-added a pic, please help! thanks

i picked up a few new plants for my aquariums today, got home and started looking them up only to discover what i bought is not really an aquarium plant? the one is question is called mondo grass--should i remove this? (and is so, what should i do with it? lol, plant it in a pot?)

one of the other plants im having a hard time id'ing looks like a little palm tree --i mean, palm type fronds, with a thin stem though..does anyone know what this is?
the girl who sold them to me had no idea what it was, but i liked the look of it.


thanks for any help

Mondo grass is not an aquarium plant.

As for the other one, can you post a picture? It's worth a thousand words

Why, thank you

Unfortunately I lost Jakers a month ago to complications from a severe bout of ich. The ich cleared, but Jakers was just never the same after that and wasted away

I revamped his tank and have baby platys in there now. I do miss Jakers, though.

wow, that took a bit longer than i expected...

anyway, an hour later, i finally retrieved the pic from my camera, lol.

heres the mystery plant..if its another non-aquarium plant i swear im going to have a tantrum. i already called petcetra and complained about the mondo grass, the manager said she would "look into it" (like as if)

dig the blue gravel, heh, it came free with the tank, well, my 4 year old likes it anyway!

ps sorry to hear about jakers
