Hello, we are fairly new to planted aquariums and need some help identifying the plants. It was professionally setup and unfortunately they do not speak english very well so we didn't ask what the names were, we just described our setup (lights, tank size and filter) and picked the ones we liked.

The image is fairly big, but I thought it would be necessary to properly identify the plants. Thank you.

In the front looks like glosso, with perhaps a lobelia and anubius nana just behind that.

the bright green round leaf in the back may be a bacopa, and some of the reds stems could be ludwigia species or crosses.

There are a couple of emersed form sword plants in there, a Hygrophila- it is pinkish with contrasting lighter veins on the leaves.

I see a little moss on one of the driftwood peices, probably java moss.


Hope this helps and gives you some place to look at plant species to try to figure it out yourself.
 
Yes it does. Thank you.
 
The really red one is Rotala macrandra.

The reddish copper one is Ludwigia repens.

The green and pink one is Hygrophila polysperma.

The small forground plant is Glossostigma elatinoides.

The deeper green broad leaf plants are Anubias barteri.

Narrow leaf java ferns attached to the driftwood on the right.

I believe the small plants behind the glosso are Lobelia cardinalis.

I see three different kinds of amazon swords in there, believe the one on the far left is a Kleiner Bar but I'm no sword expert.

And I think I see a Bacopa colorata between the Rotala and Ludwigia.
 
Thank you.

Thanks. This is our first professionally planted tank, now I see why novices (like me) have someone setup their aquariums for them.
 
Thats a really pretty tank. I'm no good at IDing plants, but I know those red ones (and green ones that look just like them) are always growing in our pond (we didn't put the plants there either, I guess someone either dumped plants in there or they're native here).
