I used to have a plant in my tanks back 20 years ago. Now that I'm back into this I wanted to make the same tanks I used to have but I can't find this plant. It grows fast and can tollerat many conditions, I have not ever found a more hardy plant for filling the tank.

The leaves grow alternat, about 1" to 1 1/2" apart. The plant is green, no other color, a nice rich green. The leaves on top are the same size as the ones on the bottom. I can't draw, but I tried.....

It grows like this plant, but the leaves are narrow, not round like the ones in this picture

When this plant would rach the top of tank i would cut it in half and plant the cut part. 2 bundles could fill a 55 gallon tank in a few months.

PART 2:
Where can i buy plants online?
 
Hygrophila corymbosa maybe. Difficult, that describes a lot of plants really. Aquarium Plant is quite popular with US side members, but I don't know if they ship to Hawaii. You may be better off searching the web for a more local supplier. Browse the sticky for other US side mail order places.
 
Thanx for your response.....
Local really stink, these people here don't know how to make a good tank. There's one store that has a little selection, but they don't know what there doing, and they only have a few plants.
I really need a place to order fish and plants if, I'll try the link you gave me and if anyone else knows any reputable places to buy online I'd be thankful
