Thanks for reaching out about your aquarium. Sorry not very good at botany but there should be tropical fish clubs that might help in identification. But comments about your tank. First, not sure if light penetration will be good for a plant that low in the water column. Secondly, the balanced rock formation looks tenuous, and might fall. Good luck.

Java Moss, Java Fern, Anubias and Amazon Swords are among the easiest live plants to care for and cultivate in an aquarium. You can use aquarium soil or aquarium sand depending on the species of plant(s) chosen. When medicating fish, it is best to remove them to a hospital or quarantine tank. This will spare live plants as well as beneficial bacterial populations, especially if an antibiotic is used. Medicated food is also an option.

Unfortunately, the images attaches are not clear enough to allow for identification. It could be any one of several broad leafed species. The cloth should be removed before planting. In general, most plants are low maintenance but you do need a proper light other than the traditional light used in fish tanks. If you can provide better pictures in a new post, we may be able to identify it for you. You can also go back to the location where it was purchased and ask store personnel.

Thanks for reaching out about Juno. Regarding which type of wood to use, many wood can be toxic. The idea of driftwood is that they are dried, bleached and have soaked for extended periods of time to leach out potential toxins. As the sap leaches into the water, potential materials either toxic or dangerous to the biological filter could cause problems. The wood from fruit with pits (peach, nectarines, etc.) and applewood potential contain cyanide. Oak and other hard woods have resins that could affect fish. Good luck.

It is too small to be used for much beyond transport, quarantine or temporary housing (i.e. during cleaning of main enclosure). The plastic construction does not allow for light or heat sources which most reptiles or exotic pets require.
