I went to the LFS and on an impulse asked for some floating plants. I was going to get hornwort, but there was none. The LFS guy told me to get this instead and called it Cabomba, but I am pretty sure that is not what this is. Although, there may be a small amount of Cabomba in there...

Thanks for the help.

Well, a piece it is Cabomba, the light green fuzzy looking plant at the top. The rest is Hygrophila diffomis.

I could be mistaken, but I think that fuzzy piece is actually Hornwort.

Looks very much like wisteria. But my knowledge of plants is still quite limited and im sure im wrong.

Looking at photos.. I think that is a small piece of hornwort also. I bought these at a store that seems more geared towards reefs so I'm not totally surprised by the goof up.
