Got this plant from petsmart, unlabeled potted plant, was in really nice shape so I chose it without much idea of what it is...

Its really really stiff, but maybe ludwigia palustris green?

Its a gamble, ive had some sorry looking plants ive got from them lol and they sell out fast too
 
looks like a garden plant
You called it!
I found an identity for it, it is

Alternanthera ficoidea

And unfortunately is terrestrial, though can be used in an aquarium if you remove it and grow it emersed for a bit of time before putting it back.
No thanks lol
Beautiful plant, but i put it up for sale for someone with a terrarium! Its being picked up tonight.

 
I wish I had seen this... yep,thats a fake aquatic. I see another Alternanthera is sold..and its red leaves give it a look of A.reineckii yet it too is not submersible. Why its sold in large bunches for a low price.
