Aquarium Advice FINatic
I posted earlier that I thought I had purchased some riccia:

I took another look at the plant and I think I was mistaken. The leaves of the plant are distinct and blade-like - much like a little bunch of bermuda grass. I looked at the "root" structure again. What I thought to be absent, I noticed that where the plant turns from green to white, the blade narrows to a more tubular appearance, and at this point, there is a node with a few small brown hairs, a few mm long. This supposed root structure upon first glance is almost non existent. The white part of the plant does not appear to be of a different texture than the stem or leaf. In fact, it doesn't look like a root at all, just a white stem.
Just by looking at it, it doesn't appear to be dwarf hairgrass, dwarf Sagittaria, Blyxa Japonica, or narrow-leave microsword.
I will have to try and get a picture and post one up to help in identification. Does my description sound like Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis is a possibility?
