Can you tell me the names of the plants please?

Sorry to say but I am suspecting that there are some non-aquatic plants in there! I'm thinking the red / green variageted one on the right for starters.

...don't just take my word for it though!

Andy you are right i was told this on another thread i Was told it may last a week its been in ten days now and it looks like there are new leaves in the middle forming which seems a bit odd as like yourself belive it to be non aquatic

 

[Underwurlde]

Not unusual for this. Some non-aquatic / semi-aquatic plants may seem to do well, but I will hazard a guess that it will be DOA in under 3 months..

A hell of a lot of non-aquatic plants are sold in (even good) fish shops. God knows why. If they are variaged, they are non-aquatic for starters.

I visitied a well renowed fish shoppe Maidenhead Aquatics near Wimbourne for the first time last week. Great fish I can tell you. Plants - pathetically poor. I mean really, really poor. 80% non-aquatic and covered in pond snails t'boot.
