Is the grassy one litorella? It was bright green and about 2"taller when I got it. Grows quickly and spreads aggressively via surface runners.

No idea on the sword type plant.

Thanks!

The top one looks like Echinodorus tenellus but the picture doesn't give a good perspective of the size. Tenellus can be up to 6" tall but usually 2 to 4 . And the light levels will dictate the 'brownness' of the leaves. I can't help you with the bottom one except to say it looks similar to Echinodorus uruguayensis 'Africanus'. Where did you get them?

Tenellus came from als innes this summer and the sword was dying in a friend tank so it was"gifted" to me:-)
