Can anybody help me id this plant?

aka: Vallisneria americana (gigantea)

The growth you see is about 6 months worth. I took it out of my 29 because of shading issues. Since the 55 is the same height, I really don't know what to do with it. I just wanted to identify it before I tried to pawn it off. I may keep one of the babies for now but I think I will offer it on the barter forum.
Can I provide different images to help identify it? Anything specific? Does crypt. retrospiralis grow different when submersed vs. immersed? If not, the I'm not sure that is what this is.
