Got this plant a couple of weeks back and it's growing like crazy but I've no idea what plant it is. Can you help?

Also, I'm wanting to buy some java moss and/or java fern. Any one know a good place to buy?
 
Looks like Egeria densa from the pic, often just called elodea, along with another couple of species :).

The plant to the right of it looks non-aquatic though, could just be the light, looks kinda varigated?.
 
either elodea densa or didiplis diandra but i think its the first of the two.

good oxygenater and will grow in most conditions but does well in higher tech tanks with better lighting/co2/ferts.
 
The plant is definatley egeria densa,

Nick, didiplis diandra has finer leaves that are closer together, and generally requiring higher light & CO2.
 
yeah thats what i thought, i was thinking of trying didiplis myself. what about hydrilla verticillata? that looks to be very similar in appearence, needing high light 75w/100L, and a good substrate.
