Heehee, thanks! I can't wait for the plants to really get going. I haven't been using high light, CO2, or any ferts other than Flourish (plain, not Excel) and flourite sand, so it'll take a while.

The one with the crinkle-ish leaves looks like some sort of crypt.

I have regular and crinkly java fern, java and flame moss, anubias (not where you put the label, though), Amazon fern, crypts, wisteria, and... four other things. Maybe ozelot? I wanted pennywort, but Wilma was out... The coontail died... I haven't gotten duckweed yet...
Does anyone know the name of the spindly one at the upper left-hand corner? I broke the stem, and the bottom half died. If I stick the top back in the sand, will it re-root?

For most plants if you remove the bottom two sets of leaves and stick it in, it'll grow.

Hygro family ... yes it will re-root. But don't stick it all the way in ... just weight it down and partly submerge

You may see new shoot growing from the leaves... that is normal.

Yeah, I figured I should just stick the end in. I can put it at an angle and hold it with a rock.
