Another Plant Id Please

Saw this at the LFS, and at 15 inches tall and £1.70, thought it was a bargain. Dont know what it is, but my fish do like swimming around it. Sorry for poor pics. Can post more if its not obvious.

I am no expert, but the stem looks thick and imo its non-aquatic! i could be totally wrong!

Looks like what Ive had in the past, looks like Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia , or it could even be Echinodorus grandiflorus , thats my pennies worth.

Looks like a Brazil sword, Borneo swords (Spathiphyllum sp.), which isn't an aquatic plant. Here's other pictures online for better photo comparison.

See photos 2-7. LFS sell them as bog plants, but they're not true aquatics.

EDIT: The plant infront of the latest photo doesn't look aquatic either...

Well it looks similar to the brazil sword, but the leaves arent as ruffled at the edges, lust large and flat. Also, root system is quite different to what i can see in the fotos.

The plant in front isnt a true aquatic, but iv had it for over 6 months now and its looking like the picture of health, fresh and green. Its a lovely plant and ill keep it in there for as long as it lives.
