I have stumbled upon the BEST plant identifier for aquarium/vivarium plants. It identifies which ones can be in aquariums and which ones are NOT true aquatics (but are often marketed as such).
Just go to http://www.plantgeek.net and I think you will find most of the answers to your questions there. I did! :happy: You can find what you are looking for, even if you don't know the name of it very easily on their site, and it is very informative.
Many of the plants sold at PetSmart or Petco in the tubes (and sometimes in the aquariums) are NOT suitable for aquarium set ups, as they are really bog plants masquarading as aquarium plants, and you will find out the real aquarium plants here...and which you can use for vivariums/terrariums.
It even has a complete section about algae!
Have fun!
Let me know if you have questions.
