I received this short grass stuff as pygmy chain sword, but there are two different plants here.

The thinner leaved one is turning brown/red on me when I turn on too many lights, I think. The other kind that is thicker and greener is doing really well. Not until recently did it start sending out runners, and wow has it been busy. I really like it, thinking of pulling up the other stuff so it has more room.

They are both Echinodorus tenellus sp. just different cultivar.
The red one is commonly referred to as Micro Leaf (Red) only turns red in high light, the other I would say is Narrow Leaf. Pygmy Chain Sword leaves max out at 2-1/2". Narrow Leaf is 4-1/2"+.
