Help ID + some questions!

[yngggru]

Could anyone please help ID these plants. I bought them from another store and were cheap at 3$ a piece.

And can I remove them from the cup? My tank has some plants planted already. I placed a bag of some kind of fertilizer my lfs uses and then covered it with black sand before I placed water. Am I supposed to remove them or would they be better inside the cup? Thanks! Here are the pics

You definitely want to remove them from the cup.

Pic 1 looks like bacopa monnieri

Pic 2 looks like a melon sword

and pic 3 is cabomba green


And you definitely want to remove them from the cup, when you do remove them from the cup do it under water, and remove the cotton stuff from the roots under water too it makes it much easier.

Okay thanks for the replies! Ive removed the first and last plant already. Its the sword(?) plant Im afraid to pull out. Im gonna try it later. Do these plants have any special requirements?

Well swords are known to be heavy root feeders so I suggest putting some root tabs under any swords...

The plant in the 2nd picture is myriophyllum (parrot feather). The plant in the first picture looks like some type of fern. Not sure if it is aquatic.

Thanks! Got these really cheap a couple of days ago. Are you sure its a fern? The store keeps all of these plants underwater..

The first plant is a non-aquatic fern. I am 100% sure of this. Either return and explain or just remove and eat the cost of the mistake.

Happens.
