plant ID?

[herp_mommy]

Can anyone ID this plant for me? I'm new to live plants and I received it in a "grab bag" for the tank. It's tiny, the leaves are about 2cm wide. I don't know what it is, but I'd like to get more since it seems to be doing well.

i'm not much of an expert but it looks like a type of anubias to me.

I think this is a small amazon sword plant of some kind. Unsure as to what kind however. I wouldnt rule out anubias either, but a better shot of the root system could confirm/deny that possibility.

thats no amazon sword.... its a anubias

Looks like Anubias to me too ... with the rhizome buried. To confirm, dig around the root a bit, there should be a thick horizontal "root-like" stem (the rhizome) where all the leaves grow out of. <The true roots grow down from the underside of the rhizome.> The rhizome should be above the gravel. Burying it can cause it to rot & eventually kill the plant.

Thanks for the help. When I get home I can dig around it and take more photos. It's been planted like this for about five months though and grown a lot since I bought it.

here's a (bad quality, sorry) picture of the root system. I replanted it with the rhizome(s) above the sand
