Watching these videos in the dead of winter is making me excited to get back out on my kayak and plant hunt as soon as the weather permits. Great video!

The feathery one is Definitely Parrot's feather I have it in my tanks very fast growing plant looks great when it starts growing emersed!

It's so peaceful as you glide along the river, so much stuff to see

Post more videos of you collecting native fish and plants.

My shrimp and platies love eating plants I pick. If you don't have a boat go to the boat launch on weekends after everyone tills up the water. I get a lot with roots and all for the tank. About 10% survives, but in the end, it is free food, which is good since keeping planted tanks is crazy expensive doing it through a store.

Please do more of these videos! 🤘

Hello dan, the feather looking plant looks like Hornwort. I believe it resembles the one you have and they grow very very fast. There's Soft Hornwort and regular hornworts.

those are all awsome plants

The plant may be Cabomba, but I think Bart Simpson might say, "Ay Caramba". 😉. Good video. 📺👍😎

I mistakenly called the combomba plant feather fern when it might actually be Hornwort. Anacharis and Elodea are one and the same species Anacharis Elodea. Vallisinaria and Sagittaria are all native North American plants along with Hornwort, Anacharis Elodea, and water lilies.After seeing the plant I am fairly sure the fathery plant is Hornwort.

Its eurasian watermilfoil

The feather one is an invasive species, Eurasian Waterminfoil, or Myriophyllum spicata. You can tell because it grows feathery leaves with a central vein for the leaflets to come off. Hornwort is bushier and the leaflets form a whorl from the stalk. It can't be Northern Watermilfoil, or Myriophyllum sibericum, which is native here. The leaflets are sparser comparatively to the eurasian variant and its pretty firm in shape when removed from water. The plant with floating leaves looked like Longleaf Pondweed, Potamogeton nodosus, which is native to both the Americas and Eurasia. The wavy leaved plant is called Curled Pondweed, or Potomogeton crispus, which was introduced from Eurasia and has become invasive. I dont know what the spindly, unassuming one was, so if anyone does, id appreciate the knowledge.

Here in the UK Anacharis is also known as Canadian pond weed so it's definitely a native N American plant.

I found out this is actually "Hydrilla", a very common, but invasive species.

Hornwart, Camboda, or parrotfeather is what you called the feathery plant at the beginning. Couldn't tell exactly because all three of them are feathery. Probably Parrotfeather since its an invasive species that seems to have spread everywhere. Hornwart is usually a tougher plant that will sorta hold its shape when taken out of water and usually in a mat floating on the surface. Camboda is a more delicate plant that does well once established but I usually see it only in stagnant / forgotten waters where its never disturbed to grow in peace

Beautiful pond i want fishing this pond so that's only in my dream

Spindly stuff is Elodea Anacharis related species.

Cute nail polish

The feathery plant looks like myriophylum

I believe it's actally "millfoil"

1st view and 1st like sir

Feathery one is a Myriophyllum aka Eurasian Milfoil

That’s cool. I have all plastic tank that I want to turn into all plants tank. So I did some of the same today. I collect some of ludwigia today. It’s in quarantine tank so far. There are so many aquatic plants you can get in the while here in Florida. How did you plants do in your tank? I think I’ll follow you 😊

It turned out to be invasive "milfoil" and it all died off eventually anyway.

Who else does this in their aquarium channel? Thanks, liked.

the stuff that looks like anacharis is the "prohibited" hydrilla, I still wanna try...

Look up "Polished Man"

remember to give wild aquatic plants a rinse in chlorinated water, and to quarantine them for 6 months, before using in your tanks to prevent parasites, pathogens, and pest insects snails, from affecting your fish.

The plant you showed in the thumbnail is not native. That is the invasive Eurasian watermilfoil. Very bad for aquatic systems. Fine for your tank, just don’t move it!

You'll have to watch the video titled "adding native plants to some of my aquariums". This video was "collecting" them.

Folks, and video author included, please know for sure what plant you are transporting and cultivating. The plant shown is highly likely NOT native to the location shown. It is likely an extremely invasive aquatic plant from across the Atlantic ocean. Humans have done so much damage that I must ID check plants even far away from areas humans have desecrated. It is advised to get on an invasive plant forum or contact your native plant society at the state level and use inaturalist. Use all means necessary. All it takes is one shred of a stems, root, leaf, root seed...any part of a plant to then transport invasive non-native pathogens as well as absolutely change an entire area's ecosystem from one stupid stupid mistake. And people are making mistakes constantly and it DOES have more than just am impact on non humans (which we should care about) it affects the beauty and sense of a place and causes human economic damages. Evolution is real...novel introductions of organisms from across entire oceans will take thousands if not millions of years to stabilize after localized extinction events extirpate much of an areas biodiversity. Think Kudzu, think cogongrass, think chinese ligustrum, think boston fern...all are horrifically contributing to the slow death of our local food webs.
