Id On Plants Please

[Dorkhedeos]

what plants do you see in these pictures and what kind of lighting do they need? thanks

The first Plant is Riccia fluitans (just bought some of this myself).

The second is Glossostigma elatinoides.

Try this sight for some good info on plants.

Dave.

EDIT: The riccia could be the dwarf variety.

riccia and glosso. Amano's staple ground cover plants.

The tropica site is excellent on plant info.

In this pic you can see Amano using them side by side.

From what I can gather, both are fast growers, need fairly high light and soak up a lot of nitrogen.
