Is this plant bylixa?

[cstar]

I was told it was bylixa japonica . I asked the lady at my LFS and she said it was called assorted plants lol. They have no clue. Somebody on another forum said bylixa. Just want to be sure.

Blyxa I mean

It sorta looks like blyxa. But it also looks like a couple of narrow leaf chainswords put together. One way to tell is remove the pot and see what the root system looks like. Blyxa is actually a stem plant so it's base looks different from a more true grass plant.

Sent from Peabody's rabbit hole.

The roots weren't that great. Kinda seemed like it could come apart, but I plugged it down to the dirt and it stayed.

Any other identifier? Might get a good pic of it in my tank.

 

[cstar]

I know it's really flimsy out of water

 

[cstar]

this is the plant in my tank . Not sure if maybe I should have broke it up.

Look up chain sword, micro chain sword, and dwarf sagitaria. Could be one of those.

 

[cstar]

Cool I would rather it be one of those.

Now I'm being told cyperus helferi. Anybody know for sure.

 

[jetajockey]

It could be, it just takes a good up close photo of an individual plant to narrow it down better. Cyperus helferi will have a slight indentation in the center of the leaves, so that's a giveaway.

 

[cstar]

Yes it has a line up the middle

 

[jetajockey]

Sounds like c.helferi then.
