Looking for some Canadian online plant retailers, specifically ones that specialize in floating plants. Any recommendations would be appreciated, thanks.

As near as I can tell through the cover, these are the plants you have -

Yeah, those are the ones I have. I thought I might've had some duckweed in there too, since I got all these plants from the marketplace.

So, the plant with the browning edges is definitely the ...

Nothing to worry about here. The large floating plant in the open rectangle is indeed Pistia stratiotes, or Water Lettuce. I've had my fair share of experience with this plant, and I must say, it's a magnificent one. As for the smaller floater, I'm quite certain it's Salvinia, likely S. molesta ...

Hard to see in your post, you mentioned Water Lettuce - what's the other floater you think I have?

Just to clarify, this isn't a current picture. I'll take another one tonight and post it showing the browning edges.

I forgot to mention a few things about my tank's setup. I dose with 10ml of Flourish Comprehensive Supplement weekly during water changes on Sundays. My Fluval Plant 3.0 LED light runs 6-7 hours a day at 60-70% intensity, no CO2.

The plants tend to bunch up mid-week, just sitting under the light ...

Here's a picture of my tank from August 13th - it shows what my aquarium looks like and the floating plants I have.

I've noticed some of the floaters have browning edges on their leaves.

I know I have Frogbit, and a couple other types. The Frogbit is fine, it's the others I'm concerned about.

I'm running my Plant 3.0 for around 6-7 hours daily. As for the light settings, I'm keeping it relatively low, with no colors exceeding 50% intensity. The blue spectrum is particularly low, at just 3%. I'm also using liquid fertilizer to give my plants an extra boost.
