Yeah, I got tricked into buying one at Petsmart as well and returned it. Its in the tube right? Its not fully aquatic. So its decaying in your tank.

Yep from the tube. Not necessarily decaying, just really ugly and looks the same as when I got it a few weeks ago.

It is actually aquatic. They're pretty much like java fern.

Some Bolbitis grow fine in tanks. From what I understand the ones that are grown emersed have problems converting to being underwater.
If they're grown submersed they may be just fine. I had a couple of different kinds of Bolbitis, but I believe the submerged growth looks different than the Emersed growth.
The El Niño Fern is apparently as was said, NOT a true aquatic.
There are 2 or 3 Bolbitis species in the hobby.

See if you can return it or exchange it. Talk to a manager if needed.

Try exchanging it. I accidentally grabbed a terrarium instead of an aquatic and they exchanged it for me no problem
The tubes will say on them for aquarium or terrarium. I know they put them in the same display which is kinda annoying. When I grabbed the wrong one there were two rows of sword 3 deep. I assumed they were all swords and I just grabbed 4 quickly since the baby was having a melt down. Nope. The whole row wasn't swords. :/
