What are these (pics)?

Question

I recently put in some live plants into both of my tanks. I'm pretty sure this one is an amazon sword, right?

I just want to be sure for future reference. And I can't remember the name of these, but I think the name had a lot of e's in it. They're almost like little pine trees.

Answer 1

The first one looks like a Melon Sword, but yes it's definitely a Sword of some sort.

The second one looks like Cabomba: http://www.plantgeek.net/plant-42.htm

Either that or Limniphilia indica: http://www.plantgeek.net/plantguide_view...

Answer 2

The first one is definetly not a mellon sword....not an amazon swor either, I have one of those and it has long leaves and short stalks to them. But definetly a sword!

I agree with zootycoon on the second one.

Edit:There is a small snail on your sword in the first pic, you might wat to take it out as soon as possible b4 it overpopulates your tank!

Answer 3
