Yeah you can put them in the tank but the 1st 2 probably won't last long but will still look OK would be a shame to waste them, should last a couple of months or so with good luck.

There both a bit big for my tank the first two. theyre not in very good condition anyway.

the last one is real aqua plant, the rest are not, they are just plant who can tolerate water, will died after about one month, if u put them totally in water, but they can be used for semi tank, such as frog or tortoise etc.

the basic rule is, if the plant and the leaves can stand up outside of water, normally they are not real auqa plant.
