Rescued these little guys from a friends tank that collapsed; was surprised to find life under a lot of dead foliage. They've been floating in a one-gal bubble tank for a few weeks now with a smattering of ambient sunlight, and have already improved in color significantly, and seem to have some new foliage growth as well.
Question is, what are they? My experience with aquatic plants is nil, but do know some plants like buried roots, some don't.... So which is this?
Is there a rule-of-thumb to identify plants that have certain growth requirements? (I.e. "All/most plants with [characteristic X] are [some sort of term to describe them, if applicable] and thus need/prefer [specific environment/care]" ex: "Most plants with fleshy leaves are succulents, so prefer hot climates and are tolerant of low rainfall conditions, though many varieties grow best in high humidity"
Thanks!!
