Plant Id Please!

[mislisa]

hi, I just came back from my lfs where i bought these two plants. the only downside to my lfs is that they know nothing about the plants they sell except that the owner supposedly only buys low-tech plants. any ideas what these are, and what their needs are?

Thanks!

firsts a crypt i dont know the type though. could you show more of the stem please of the second one?

for the second im thinking blyax japonica or Sagittaria subulata

Is this a better shot? I removed the sponge stuff.

Yeah first one is a crypt, very easy to keep. It may melt tho in your tank. Don't worry, it will grow back. The second appears to me to be pygmy chain sword. I could be wrong on that one. It's fairly easy to keep with just a couple of full length bulbs. If that's what it is.

the second isent a chain sword. they look totaly different id put it down to blyxa Japonica or something similar as its a stem plant. it looks a little more straight leafed and longer than mine though. but it will be something similar. its a really nice plant (its the one in-front of my big purple rock in my sig)
