Brand new to plants, few questions and unknown plant id.
About 2 weeks ago I set up my first planted tank. Because I really wasn't sure what plants to go with, I bought a 10 gallon plant package from freshwater aquarium plants.com. Anyway, the plants are doing quite well and all are vigorously growing. My substrate is fluorite (thoroughly rinsed and really no cloudiness), and I have been dosing weekly with flourish. I also have flourish excel, but haven't added any of that yet. Lighting is fluorescent bulbs at 2 wpg.
Question 1) Do you know what this plant is? It seems to be growing and was a hitch hiker. Should I grow it, or is it bad? It was just floating at the top and getting larger.
Question 2) I would like to put some kind of thick tall fluffy type plant to fill in the corner behind the java fern. What would you recommend?
Attached is a picture of the planted tank. I currently have threadfin rainbows in the tank, but would also like to add a gudgeon if i could find one.
