Plant ID

[mPhish]

I got a plant from Petco that was labeled under 'Assorted Aquatic Plants' or something. It's kinda low to the ground, with a bunch of long stems that end in oval-ish, pointed leaves, only big enough to put a nickel on top of. It kind of looks like Anubias nana but I'm not sure, I've never had one.

Could you post a picture?

I was wrong, the leaves are a bit smaller than I thought (I couldn't see it at the time).

agh my picture isn't working!
Go to this site. The pic is there.

I don't think it's an anubia. The leaves seem more pointed and delicate.

Thanks for the reply! any idea what it is?

Maybe a cryptocoryne of some kind? Cryptocoryne walkeri or nevelli?

Actually, maybe it is an anubias barteri.

The cryptocoryne ones look the closest, the anubias leaves are too broad, i think.

It looks a lot like c. walkeri.

Crypts are predominately root feeding plants so root tabs are recommended.
