    Any chance of a wider shot so we can see the whole plant? It does not look to be in good nick either, looks like it may need feeding as it look a bit straggly. It could be juncus repens or maybe one of the narrow leaved hygrophila but not anything like 100% sure.

    Echinodorus tenellus? If so it is a plant that grows in the substrate and increases by tiny runners and roots in the sub. High light and stays short, maybe 2" or so.

    Hmmm - I don't know but suspect I have some too (came with some RCS) and has filled their ten gallon in 4 months; but no clue as to what it is.

    Definitely guppy grass. It is commonly used with the shipment of shrimp.

    seeing as it came with my shrimp, I'll bet that's what it is ...

    I had it in a tank without lighting for a week after receiving the shrimp... due to the fact that I didn't have any lighting available since my T12 died on me. I have since 'upgraded' it to two T5 bulbs. We'll see how it goes...

    I hope it is guppy grass.

    thanks for the ID everyone. I was actually suspecting it was some sort of hygro as well... when I first saw it in the Kordon bag in a ball I thought it was anarcharis (definitely is not). I would ask the seller, but the seller seems to have poor comm even when I'm actively buying something.
