    Acan Lord for number 1 and fuzzy ricordia for number 2;
    Well Ive been calling #1 an acan so I was almost right and the other is a mushroom but I didnt think it was a ric.
    Thanks for the quick feedback too!

    I'm pretty sure that 2nd one is a fuzzy mushroom too, not a ricordea.

    Ill target feed the acans lords tonight :)

    They seem easy to care for Ive had them for about 6 months.

    Those mushrooms can get real big too.The guy I got them from had some in his tank 5-6 inches in diameter.He just gave me those for buying so much of his other stuff.
