I've tried so many aquatic plants in my larger fish tank, and I'm just terrible at keeping them alive. I've killed huge amazon swords, water wisteria, water sprite, Argentine swords, dwarf hairgrass, various anubias species, and even duckweed. I do currently have a couple species of java fern that have been alive for about 5 years, though! They're the only aquatic plant I haven't killed yet. Your aquatic plants look better than mine did even after just a few days.
