hey guys.
i've had this plant for several months now. i went through a big bout of ich treatment and for a while I had total lack of nutrients...during this time, the plant never died but the leaves turned to a dark olive, ugly color. my amazon swords turned yellow and the leaves would fall off. very few of this one's leaves fell.
it's grown very little since i've had it but then again, it's been a rough ride for all my plants as I learn how to deal with them.
anyways, here's a not-so-good picture:

it reminds me of swords but it's not an amazon or a melon, as i've got those as well. unlike amazons, this plant has very long and thin leaf stems, and the leaves are usually the same length or shorter than their stems.

can you guys help me id this plant please?
thanks! :good:
 
It looks to me like a young cryptocoryne affinis, which do go a much darker green colour, and usually develop lovely red undersides to the leaves as well.
