A few weeks ago I got this plant and have no idea what it is.

It's doing well in a low light Betta tank with just 3 drops a week of Seachem Flourish comprehensive supplement once a week if I remember.

This is roughly the light level in my tank

If only I could find some of that while shopping. I hear it is less demanding than baby tears and mine aren't doing too hot lately :/
 
Oh no, stop! I keep going to all these pages selling plants and I just need to stop before I buy some. The glossostigma can be bought as seeds and I want to try it now...
 
Hello Nick, it doesn't look like dwarf baby tears... perhaps look into Monte Carlo? They are pretty similar.

You are right D it is Monte Carlo.

in the low light you have, it would at least be growing UP not staying nicely trained along the substrate.
You gave me an idea, thanks.

I went to LFS today and got another bunch to try out as a floating carpet.

Yes I know I could have trimmed some of the plant on the bottom but I didnt want to, I want it to grow for now, it seems to be attaching itself to the wood if that turns out to be the case I want to try and train it to grow on the wood, that would look kool.
