What's the leafy plant called? A friend of mine brought some back from a sampling trip from some central TN springs a few weeks back. It did great and then all of a sudden crashed on me, the stems just melted on up.
I don't know what the plants are, they came from the ditches down here.

The guys with the black stripe through the nose are most likely weed shiners (picture098afa1.jpg). You can confirm this by looking at the anal fin and seeing if there's coloration on the final 4 rays. That's telltale.
The rest aren't that obvious, well besides the bluenose and flagfin
Matt the plants are either "Hygrophylia" or "Rotala". Maybe when NativePlanter's life settles down a bit we can ask her for a more positive ID, if no one else has an idea beyond that generic identification.

Great shot of the pugnose! I know it's sick, given the rest of the fishes in consideration there, but that is my FAVORITE!

I really like the pugnose too. They are very personable and always want to that their picture taken.

Nice tank. The plants look like Ludwigia sp. to me.
Rick
I'm thinking Ludwigia too.

I'm thinking Ludwigia too.
looks alot like Ludwigia palustris i see here in NC,
and the strap-leaf plant might be Sagittaria weatherbiana or one if its cousins.
