    Hey! I bought some new plants and I don't know what they are. Do you know what this plant is? It's not pothos, of course. Though the leaf colors might make you think it is. I can't find any aquatic nor land plant that looks like this! Can you help me? Thank you!

    Hello everyone, I am currently working on the installation of Dutch aquariums or in a first step "only" on the planning of such a tank.
