Help Identify Plant!

no · 02-06-2012, 07:15 PM

Hi! I just bought these plants from Petsmart, but forgot to write down the name. Does anyone know the name of this plant and some general caring information? If you need clearer pictures, I can take some more. Don't want these to die or poison my fish. Thanks!

P.S.: I think the name ended in -cus.

I am taking a wild guess, but maybe it is mondo grass? If it is you should take it out. Mondo grass will rot in water as they are non-aquatic. Although that is my guess. I see it in my petsmart a lot as well. This is one of the biggest issues I have with petsmart/petco they mislabel and sell non aquatic plants.
