I wanted to do a snail breeder tank to feed my figure 8 puffers and I had a couple of Ramshorn snails in the pond so it made sense to do a coldwater set up for that reason and it also saves money on a heater.
I've chosen some UK native plants but I've got absolutely no idea what species they are and I'd very much appreciate it if someone could identify them for me?
The details of the tank are below:
Volume: 10(US)G
Light: 18W
Substrate: Florabase
Ferts: Macro and trace mix once a week
Hardscape: Marine Rock (left over from a previous tank), hopefully I'll be able to find a good looking bit of dead wood soon.
Animals: Ramshorn Snails
Fauna: No idea but I will edit this section as I get identification...
1. Opposite leaved pondweed (Groenlandia Densa)?
2. ?
3. Bog Pondweed (potamogeton polygonifolius)?
4. Adders Tongue Spearwort (Ranunculus Ophioglossifolius)?
5. Agrostis stolonifera
6. ?
7. ?
8. Water Starwort (Callitriche Stagnalis)? & Short Leaved Starwort (Callitriche Truncata)?
9. ?
Full tank shot:

4: I'm pretty sure that this is an Arrowhead.

The tank has been going a couple of weeks and the 3 background plants seem to have settled and are growing well but the others are melting a bit.
I'm going to see how well they grow first and if some start to suffer I may try dosing liquid carbon.
