I've been looking on the internet and through my relatively outdated aquarium plant books and everytime I think I've found it, I take a closer look through diff pictures and realize that its not what it is at all. Just got it on monday. Was told it is a relatively easy grower, doesnt need CO2 (which my tank does not have, so I stick to easy keepers) anyway, if anyone knows, it would be much appreciated! I'd like to make sure I have it set up properly in my tank. Thanks :)

I'm not great with plants but, it looks like a type of narrow leaf hygrophila to me. At least that will give you somewhere to start looking.

I'm pretty sure that's sunset hygro. It may be a narrowleaf version.

I've been looking for some for my 75G, where did you get it?

You may want to try and PM them-I haven't seen them posting recently.

Hygrophila shouldn't be hard to find. Check your local fish stores periodically.
If their selection is really bad, the local aquarium club may host auctions periodically, the local classifieds are a good place to look, as well as online sites like Ebay or aquabid.

This year a bunch of the hobby's stem plants have been outlawed by New York State for being invasive to the environment . You should check your state and city laws. This might be why it's hard to find. Always practice responsible fish keeping everyone.
