This whole time (3 days ) I thought this was an amazon sword.

I too would be interested for the same reason. Mine was labeled congensis anubias but it looked a little small compared to pictures.
 
Yep. Petsmart said Amazon sword.
:/

Is it a fast growing plant?
 
Mine sprouted new leaves rather quickly 2-3 days after planting, and the roots take quickly as well.
 
Ok so I'm not going crazy! It's already sprouted a new leaf!!

Can I see a pic of yours?
 
Okay I don't know of it's just this plant or the ferts I used. But in ONE day look at the growth in the little leaf in the middle of the plant coming out.

It is very easy to tell the difference between a sword and an anubia. An anubia will have a rhizome which is horizontal and is pencil like in shape. Leaves then sprout along the top of the rhizome and white roots grown from the bottom of the rhizome. Swords just have roots and leaves. They are very different looking. Also when swords are happy they can sprout leaves very quickly where as anubia's are slow growing.
