new for the tanks

I bought some plants from a forum member. Have been wanting to try dwarf water lettuce in my tanks. I know the floaters I had before in the 45 all died- hornwort, then frogbit. But now it has more light, so maybe . . . ? Well, this is what I got. The roots all fallen off and the leaves kind of folded but I hope it springs back. I put most in the angelfish tank, smaller ones in the 20H and a few in the tenner- suspect it might do best in there because of the fert dosing, will have to see.

Most of the package was actually full of salvinia minima, and a lot of common duckweed. It took three rinses of all the plants to remove the duckweed.

Salvinia went into the paradise fish tank. New ones are (left) are quite a bit larger than mine (right). I'm guessing that means the tank they came from had more nutrients, or higher light. So these will probably melt and regrow. I don't need more salvinia but since it came in, here it goes.

The duckweed I threw away. Had to pour the bucket water through paper towels set over a sieve, to keep it from going down the drain.
