The plant you are talking about is a photos, they are really a plant that is planted however if you have problems with green water they actually help soak up the nutrients that cause green water. The roots won't hurt the fish either they like to hide in them, just watch and make sure if it starts rotting take it out but it shouldn't I use to grow them in water for a year or more at a time. As long at the plant roots haven't been in soil they are pretty safe for an aquarium. I have noticed at the big box pet stores they sell a lot of regular house plants as aquarium plants.I was asking since the bigger plant with the green and white leaves looks almost exatcly like one my parents keep outside water (well, it gets watered, but is in potting soil) and I have seen it sold everywhere in potting soil... Did you buy it from an fish shop, or are you just assuming it's aquatic?
Sorry if I sounded rude... was just wondering...
