|  Pygmy chain I was given a plant today, bt I don't know what it is. It looks exactly like the pygmy chain sword in the profiles page, but the profile says it only grows a few inches tall. This one is at least a foot. Maybe it grew strangely because it was grown floating? I doubt that, though. I probably misidentified it.

| It could be Sagittaria subulata (or other Sag species). It resembles the chain sword and can get fairly tall. Do you have a picture?

| If it is sag sebulata, it will soon take over very rapidly. I just pulled a 5 inch carpet out of a 150G tank. It only took about 3 months to completely cover the whole tank. It flowered many times for me.

| I think its a subulata. Here's a picture off the web. The edges of the leaves and the horizontal 'fractures' in the center look like the one I have.
