The big, super common one is the one I don't know the correct scientific name of.

Thanks ahead of time,

I have the exact same plant. I'm not sure if it echindorous bleheri or echindorous amazonicus.

I'm pretty sure its not bleheri, as I know I've got that bad boy on ther other side of my tank.... its in the back right entangled with the Hydrocotyle leucocephala.

So that would make it echindorous amazonicus, no?

its possible that it is the same kind of plant as your other sword, especially if you got them at the same time. different location, light, current and any other varieable is all reasons for difference in overall shape and apearance although the plant is the same.

I got them at different times from different places, but I see how you could see them being the same kind of plant. The one on the right does have have much thicker stems, fewer leaves that are broader, etc. so I think they are two different plants. Safe to say its probably one of the two mentioned above though?
