Plant Identification PLEASE

[richardhmc]

Hey everyone! I bought these two big plants for my tank because I researched up on shovelnoses and it says they like a current and plants to hide themselves next to..

Can someone identify these for me? How much light they need? any foods or requirements please? thank you

Look like a type of sword, not sure on exact one. Good lighting and use root tabs for fertilizing.

They are amazon swords. Root tabs are the only major thing. Standard T12 6700K bulbs will do fine for them.

What are root tabs and How do I know what kind of bulbs I have?

Check your bulbs and read what they say. 6700k (Kelvin) is the best for them. You can buy Seachem's Root Tabs at most LFS. And to me, it's looking specifcally like Echinodorus parviflorus.

I think that is a echinodorus bleheri(paniculatus). I bought one yesterday, and i think they are the same

Umm. I looked at the bulb and all it said was aquarium glass and 32 W

I would just see how they do with the bulb you have. If you're not happy with the results you're getting you can buy a full spectrum daylight bulb from pretty much anywhere.
