    ?? I'd searched the web for it, doesn't look quite the same. Bought it pre-packed from a LFS with some water in it though it wasn't submerged.
    Put it in my planted tank and it's thriving well with roots growing deep leh. Very hardy deep green and non-demanding plant.

    Anubias nana (Dwarf Anubias) may be?

    It's fantastically hardy and can even survive out of water

    Where's the rhizome of the Anubias then? Do take a bigger picture if possible.

    Also known as "Green Hedge", my LFS had a ton of it in their display tank until it all melted!!

    Yes, found it! It's indeed "Green Hedge" with scientific name Alternanthera Ficoidea. Thanks to all!

    It's bad for the tank - LFS shouldn't be selling it in the first place.

    My nana is growing vertically like the on in the pics and appears like a stem plant. The leaf shape is exactly the same. Well...
