What kind of plant is this?

Can anyone tell me what kind of plant this is? Thank you.

What does the base of it look like? Is there a rhizome, or individual stems, or what?

Kind of reminds me of Mermaid weed.

 

[nickylovesguppies]

They are individual stems. Thank you.

I don't know what it is but I like it.....

I'm fairly sure it's mermaid weed in emersed form. If so, it's a medium light plant that can develope red coloring with high light and the right iron levels.

Yup, Alisha is right on.

I like it...interesting plant. It was on my list of possibilities when I was setting up my 20 gallon but it was out of stock when I went to purchase plants.

I bought 2 of them at Walmart. They usually don't have many plants on hand so I was surprised that they had these. So far they are doing good in my 20 gallon.

haha

 

[Coleallensmom]

Wow, Surprised they had that at Walmart!!

 

[nickylovesguppies]

I was too! Thats why I grabbed them both!. Usually they don't have any or the ones they have are so brown looking you don't want them. Will keep looking to see if they get any others in that look that good.
