Yesterday was a good day. (Plant ID please? plus pic heavy)

Stretched out, the tallest one was appx. 15" long, whe widest blades are less than 1/4", and both sets of grass are the same, I just pulled out the tallest one and a set with runners to hopefully help with the ID. Here's a couple of in tank pics (also, the oto in the earlier pic was hanging on this, for a close-up). Thanks!

Just did the google research and you're dead on with the val ID. Thanks! No Excel is going into this tank, I''ll set up a diy CO2 until I have the money for something better, if it turns out I need more.
