Alright so I have this Frill Plant that I got from Petsmart and the fish seem to love it but I can't keep it living. I also can't find any information about a frill plant i'm thinking it has some other name. Can anyone shed some light on this plant?

Can you post a picture of your plant?
Petco sells a lot of plants that are not really aquatic. This could be why it is dying. We'd need a picture to ID it for you.

Here is two pictures, one that is a full and one closer up. Its not Hornwort, and its not Cambomba because they sold them too and this one was different.

My guess is you don't have enough light. 
How many watts do you have over the tank? This plant is a medium-high to high light plant and in smaller tanks, you need more wattage than you would in a large tank. I also think you should spread out the stems.
