Unknown plant 1

Thanks Cavan,
I am quite sure the plant is Limnophila Aromatica by now as it has grown very pretty submersed leaves few days after I posted the pictures.
The emersed and submersed leaves are completely different!!!
I have made some significant changes to the tank and will try post the pics ASAP. Got green water last week but managed to clear in 3 days (lucky me).

Give the lotus some root tabs...

My tiger lotus grew so many new leaves after I gave it root tabs. Now it even has some emersed growth too.

Thanks ninob, but I managed to size it down 50 56KB.

I think the greenish unknown plant is probably a Limnophila species, possibly a variety of L. aromatica. Has it been growing submersed for very long?

The reddish unknown plant looks like it might be an Alternanthera. I don't know which one. Give it a bit more time and it may be easier to tell.

Nice tank.

A few suggestions: I would move the corymbosa more towards the center or find a way to break up the wall of different stem plants.

Also, do something to change the part of the wood that appears to be sawn off. It would probably be better if all the stones were of the same type.

Thanks ninob. Let me try now.

Hi StevenL,
I guess you are right. I placed 2 tabs near it few days ago and I already noticed some improvement. Will post the picture as soon as it is big enough.
Thanks for the advice.
