I found this branch with some fish I bought a while back. Decided to keep it and see how it turns out. It since developed into a small bush that seems to be doing rather well. The only thing is I have no idea what it is. Hopefully somebody can help.

Second Hygrophila Polysperma. Its a noxious weed in several states (maybe federally?), so know the regulations before you ship it or try to sell it.
 
That's it. Thanks Jeta!

Now I can find out what specs it needs because I was thinking of moving it to a corner of the tank that might not get enough light.

That's the second plant then in my tank that's blacklisted. I got a brazilian sword as well that is blacklisted in our country. And both I got from the same lfs.
 
Brazillian Sword? Those are often non aquatic. There are a couple plants labeled brazillian sword. Got pics of it?

I've got a plant that looks very similar to the one in your pic... Polygonum porto velho... Not sure why, but it kind of looks like both that or the polysperma
