Well I know these pictures are crappy as I had to resort to using my laptop, but the water is finally getting clear enough to see through with a camera, and I trimmed my vals to let some more light through to the bottom. So here are some pictures for you.
The rotala is doign terrible- very ugly, compact and short growth. The hairgrass is acclimating as is the stargrass. The bacopa and vals are doing quite well, and the riccia is not doing the greatest but it's hanging in there.
Now I doubt you can see it, but I have a tall stem plant that started out as a tiny little hitchhiker in my riccia when I bought it. It grows SO fast, with long reddish leaves with slightly serrated edges (not sharp, just wavy). It is starting to propagate itself with sideshoots, but I want to know what it is hahaha. I have no idea, but it is growing like a weed, so hopefully in time I will be able to get a good photo for you and see if you know.
EDIT: I thought I posted this before but maybe not. I had a discussion with the guy who sent me the riccia and thus the hitchhiker, and the plant has been identified as Hygrophila Polysperma "ceylon".
