Can i get an ID?
These are the Walmart bulb plants i got a few years ago They have been enduring my inadequate care for quite a while, they may not even resemble what they are supposed to be.... but i'll see if anyone can tell me what they are so i have some idea of how to make them grow. One did flower a few months ago, sent up a lot of leaves that floated on the water surface, the 'flower' looked like a bottlebrush, like a peace lily without the white cup around it....

Number 1 and 3 look like some type of anubias to me. The second I am not sure about but will do some investigating.

i assume once they adjust to their new surroundings they will grow well enough to be easily recognised 
Next time i go to wallyworld i'll see if they still have those bulbs and see if it has the name of the plants on them, should help to narrow it down.
anything i can do for them now to get them growing better? |

Lights and Co2 woudl be my suggestion. What Ph is the tank? Most plants like the 6.0 to neutral give or take.

Oh, i don't have the co2 up yet, things keep coming up at home and i didn't have the time... but i've already noticed nice new growth on those 3 plants..... looks like they like the new lights and the nice substrate already  |
