Bear with me... my image posting skills are severely limited! I got this plant from LFS and have nooooo idea what it's called or know any information about it.....

Any thoughts? I've had it for over a week now and it seems to be doing okay.

Its called Vallisneria.

It is a species of Vallisneria. Which is a tall grass-like plant which grows tall and spreads via runners around your aquarium. Forming nice clumps of this grassy plant.

Its an easy plant to grow and does well in most aquaria without CO2 and ferts. Standard aquarium lighting of various levels are sufficient for it to grow. I've had this grow for months in a completely unlit and unfiltered aquarium for several months. Growth is usually more lucious with both ferts and CO2 added ofcourse.

Thanks everyone! I've been adding ferts to the water about once every couple days. Can't say my Java fern is doing quite as well as this plant though...
