Well thankgod I have my handy dandy plant encyclopedia!I have buy not 100% sure,Cabomba,pennywort,ludwigia,java fern,java moss,baby tears and duckweed.
After doing quite a bit of reading I have found out that Java moss is a PITA,and Duckweed is called aquatic herpes............now Im pickin up whatchya puttin down!I like it!Im new to this and Im having fun.Isnt that what its all about!
You should be ok with excel and those plants. Moss isn't terrible if done right. Its great to attach to wood and shrimp love the stuff. Duckweed is a plant that you have to know what you're getting yourself into. I use it in my cray tank and it ends up in my others but I just scoop it out. The only tank it is abundant in is the one I intended it to be.
plants are just fine to float for a while. i picked up a bunch of amazon swords a little while back and they floated for nearly two weeks before i had a chance to get in to the tank and rescape and plant. heck, i still have crypts floating from over a month ago, lol.
you might see some leaves 'melt' off them but they'll bounce back. be sure to inspect the plants and remove any dead or dying parts before planting.
