    Default really ugly plant ID please

    I asked for the name of this plant before but have forgotten what I was told. Sorry to be asking again.

    This is a stem plant, grows clear to the waters surface but remains ugly as sin, tall and lanky and no lower leaves on sections of it. I have cut if off numerous times thinking it would fill out but as you see, it just grows UP again. More light perhaps? And what is it?

    Thanks guys/gals.

    Now that sounds familiar! I also think light is the issue here. Thanks. I think you got it.

    And thank you Korith! It does look familiar but not quite right.

    I agree. I have a LOT of these in my 29G tetra tank. When I first got them I had them in a low light 20G tank and that's what they looked like.
