Hello everyone,

I'm completely new here and what brought me here is the fact that I am setting up a new low-tech tank. I have 2 plants that I believe were mislabeled when purchased and throughout my research overnight, I cannot seem to pin them down. :confused:
I will attach photos and if I can give any more information I will be glad to do so.
They are the three small plants (labeled 'cryptocoryne parva') in second pic & green bushy plant (which was labeled 'pygmy chain sword')in first photo.

Thank you all in advance! :flowers:

Wondering if the first pic (which are sideways for no apparent reason) is in fact "Micro Sword Grass - Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae"??
 
I mean to my (inexpert) eye it doesn’t look like they were mislabeled. Is the ‘bushy’ one only bushy because it’s a lot of plantlets tangled together? It’s a little hard to tell but the leaf shape looks right.

Were they bought in those tissue culture tubes, by chance?
 
The top one is a lilaeopsis for sure. Not sure which. The crypt could be emersed parva which needs to transition to submerged leaves which often look different. Give it time then see.
