Also it's been in the aquarium for about a week

Buy not buy

I believe its some type of water weed, I dont have the plant name anymore...sorry, it was kind of an impulsive but because they were on sale. 40 gal with five serpae tetras and two rainbow sharks. Medium light No type of co2 yet, havnt gotten there yet
