hmm interesting – 30 mins in and both amazon sword and temple have got a thumbs down, but they dont seem to have suggested an alternative, if its just you two fighting it out well thats just silly lol – i go by the info not the thumbs up/down count
i thought amazon sword when i first saw the pic but when i looked more closely and saw how it spread out rather than up i wanted a 2nd opinion and right now im swinging towards the temple as no other viable alternatives have been put forward
Looks like an Amazon Sword to me.
Edited to add:
It’s absolutely not a Temple Plant (Hygrophila). Hygrophila are stem plants – they grow tall stems, with leaves coming out every node (about every inch or so). This picture might better explain what a stem plant looks like:

The pictured plant is clearly not a stem plant, but a rosette plant, with the leaves coming out from a single central point. The plant in the picture is also sending out runners with baby plants, typical of Amazon Swords. It’s normal for Amazon Sword leaves to spread out rather than up under good conditions – if the leaves are going up, it’s likely a younger plant reaching for more light.
