looks like glosso or riccia if its glosso then ur gonna have a hd time growing it u need quite hgh lightin and a lot of co2
but on the other hand if it is riccia it will be fine whatever the conditions of lighting u have and u dnt need co2 to grow this plant

I can't decide what that is, it looks like a few plants, but the clarity on the image is not the best. I would leave it to grow for a while and see what happens, maybe try to get a picture that isn't as bright, my eyes hurt with the red/green mix!

Apart from that, if you have left the plants in pots (looks like the plant at the back is still potted?) then you need to take them out of the pots carefully, removing the rock wool, and re-plant them. They won't grow well long term if left potted.

I can't see any leaf shapes there, or any stem structure going on, which makes me think it might be riccia.
Is it just loads of little pieces?

looks lide d. riccia or something.If it is it must be tied down?

 

[craigybaby37]

i dont think its loads of small pieces but i have removed it from the plastic pot but it still has the wool or whatever it is wrapped around it shall i remove it and replant it without the wool

^ yep.

micro swords or riccia

 

[craigybaby37]

so how would anyone suggest tying it down then?? as at the moment its still inside the padding that was in the plastic holder.

 

[Underwurlde]

use a hairnet & attach it to something!

Its riccia for sure, 100% certain of that, not sure if its dwarf or normal, but its riccia.
