they could be, because my other plants seem to be fine. i will keep an eye on them.
thanks
If I'm not mistaken, that's a spider plant --- a non aquatic plant. It looks like it's starting to rot
Spider Plant info
I looked at this a minute or so ago and i thought exactly the same thing, i also think its a non aquatic plant, spider plants are one of the easiest plants to grow outside of an aquarium.

hi the plant is called chlorophytum becketii, a lot of aquarium websites and shops sell them so i think it is an aquatic plant.
please let me know if you know otherwise.

Nope. Still not an aquarium plant. They're mostly used for terrariums-half-land/half-water type of tanks, that's why a lot of people mistake them as true aquatic plants. They're not, though.
cheers.
ps- any ideas on a nice plant i can replace it with?

I`ve just bought one of these, please tell me its not going to die
It probably is. Its not an aquatic plant. As for what can you use instead of that, I'd recommend jungle val. Easy to grow, and looks good too!
And the reason I said Cryptocoryne becketii is beacause I thought the topic starter got mixed up or something, because I've never heard of Chlorophytum becketii before.
Also, I can't seem to find www.aquaticplantation.co.uk...

lol nice save. generally speaking if the plant has white in it it's not aquatic. also aquatic plants will droop when out of water as they use the water to hold their rigidity.
try replacing it with vallis
