Hi, planted the following in my tank yesterday but dont know what I have planted. Also any opinions if they are in the right place please.

The plants all came in ceramic pots,which I removed along with the sponge. The only plant that had roots is the first one in the pic - I trimmed a few mm off the ends of the roots before planting. The other plants didnt have any roots but I still trimmed a few mm of the end of the plants before planting. Did I do right?

Tank is 95g with 2.27wpg and eco complete substrate.

Are they in the right postions or do I need to move any.
 
Looks like valis,ludwigia (I think),hygrophilia polysperma 'rosanervig' (I have this,love it),and cabomba.
You've planted them fine,only thing I'd maybe do purely from a cosmetic pov,is to maybe put the delicate green cabomba between the two red leaved plants to break things up a bit.

Do you mean I should move some or all of the cabomba or buy some more? I was a bit concerned that it was to near the filter intake and in time it would restrict the flow.
Thanks
 
What are the details of your setup? Just curious, the plan ids are fine, so I'm on to the next step. :) I know it's 96g with 2.27WPG and eco-complete.

I love the Hygro polysperma. I cannot get that where I currently live and it is one of my favorite plants.

Thanks for the link! That's very sweet of you, but...

They will not allow it to enter the state. Florida has it in their noxious weed list, therefore its distribution is illegal. I don't have a problem observing the environmental laws of my state. They are there for a reason. I just miss it sometimes. I would feel very bad if I violated that by finding a site that would ship it to me as nice as it would be to have the plant. We have enough problems with non-indigenous species invading the local ecosystem and that plant is almost impossible to kill.

Tank is an aquaone aquience 1500r it comes with 4 x 54w t5s
I have an eheim pro3 1073 and an aquaone aquis 1050 filter ( I also have a spare 1050 I might use)
I also have a hydor koralia 2 on order

I have got hold of a fire extinguisher, so if I got hold a few more bits I could have c02.

Tank is nearing the end of its cycle so not got fish in it just yet.
