plant type?

Does anyone know what type of plant this is? I got it from petsmart for my batta tank and forgot to write down the plant type... I now find myself worried that this isnt an aquatic plant. It looks like a gold ribbon plant to me, but those arnt aquatic and this was in the aquarium section ><

Also, while on the subject, does anyone know the actual type of anubias sold at places like petsmart? I have several of these on my tanks and no idea which variety they are (you can see one in the back ground tank from the images)

thanks!

It doesn't look like an aquatic plant to me, either. The leaves look like leaves of a succulent plant. These kinds of leaves have a waxy coating on them in order to keep water in. I haven't ever seen leaves like that on aquatic plants (doesn't mean there aren't any that have them, just that I haven't seen such a thing)

Looks like a type of Dracaena to me. Definitely terrestrial.

Hard to see the anubias, but most commonly sold are the nana and coffeefolia.

A better pic would help, but IMO yours could be the latter!
