Wondered if anyone could ID this plant for me?



Leaves are all between 2 and 4 inches.

Thanks very much.
 
Look like Pygmy chain swords that have been grown submerged.

Cheers Ian.

These came from a shop that had a lot of plants (including those common non-aquatic ones) but no labels. I was hoping you'd say dwarf sag as that's what I was looking for.
 
Looks like dwarf sag to me, I have pigmy chain swords and the leaves get wider then slim back down the the ends like all swords and those don't look like they do.
 
its hard actually, i was looking on my iphone ealier at work, they are def aquatic. I will still stick with Echinodorus tenellus, give me a pic submerged and i'll tell ya definatly. I wouldn't rule out Sag at the min though.

Lights come on at 3pm, will get a pic sorted after that so the debate can continue.

Cheers chaps.

Got any pic's of your tank on here? Is that Didiplis Diandra I can see?

Thanks, wondered what it was!

I've got two tanks, this is a Roma 200 and I've also got a little 64 litre. (I'm planning on upgrading this to a Roma 125 at some point soon). I'll post a couple of pics up later.
 
Sorry to bump an old thread but I don't think these were dwarf sag after all.

They haven't done well at all and I'm probably going to get rid at weekend. After researching a bit more I think they could be these... Juncus Repens

The way 3 or 4 leaves come off one stem like that is exactly how mine looked.

I've ordered some dwarf sag off the net now so hopefully I'll see the difference when they arrive.
 
Definatley was juncus repens (or more commonly Blyxa Japonica). It requires high CO2 and it doesnt travel too well - A hard species to get going.
 
now looking at it, you can deffo see its Blyxa. Sorry Jamepsss.
