Got these from a privite lake that has little access, so hopefully that will cut the chances of getting any unwanted hitchhikers.
Been planning this free dive trip for awhile as I knew of some wood I wanted to grab for the tank too. But I was suprised to find such a wide variety of plants that maybe a good fit for a tank. After it took me three hours to dig out the wood I wanted, I got seven different types of plants. I know lake plants as three types:
1) the kind that gets me stuck
2) the kind that messes up my lures
3) lilly pads
So any ideas on these would be awesome as I went through the whole plant species index with no luck.
Plant #1 - Grew in small bunches with medium growth. Seems to have twig like stems that snap when bent to far.


Plant #2 - I do believe is what we call Hydrilla here. Its known as a nuisence and invasive species. Mostly becase it clogs up channels and shallow lakes. Its one of the few here I have seen before. Grows in long strands. Noticed the ends are turning red. Possibly due to the end of the growing season here.


Plant #3 Is a medium growth plant that grows in single strands. Very few of these in the area. Seems to prefer the edges of heavy growth.


Plant #4 - I know these by their local name "Arrow Heads". I like the looks of these when the leaves are floating on top. Medium growth, does not like deeper water.


Plant #5 These grow in bunches on the edges of bottom changes, Seem similar to some plants I've seen on these forums. Heavy roots and tall growth.


Plant #6 I have no idea, never seen this stuff before. Found in what seems to be current strewn "clumps" These are rough to the touch. It has "knobs and runners"


Plant #7 Looks familar, but has smaller leaves and short growth then the plant I'm used to seeing in LFS and my own tank. Rough to the touch and some-what tough


Thanks in adance, Hope you are as entertained as I was diving for them.
All my samples are being kept in a cooler in a mixture of old tank water and fresh treated water, during the quarentine. Planning on lighting them for 10 hours a day. Think I should get them on ferts and Co2?
