The fish with the tails are guppies, the orange one is a platy. Couldn't tell you a thing about plants.

Hi dragonshark!
Hope you don't mine, I changed the title of your thread.

Members who can ID plants might not look at threads in the Fish ID section of the forum.
I hope the new title will get their attention.

The plant looks like an Anubias barteri, though I can't tell which variety.

From the size, I'd guess that it's Anubias Nana (Anubias barteri nana).

Plantgeek's guides are awesome, but it's sometimes really hard to guess scale from the photos. My guess is simply based on my own anubias collection. Nana (to my knowledge) is one of the smaller Anubias species, so while it will send out more rhizomes and leaves, it won't get any taller, and the leaves won't get any bigger.

The plant does look like Anubius. Either Anubius Barteri 'Nana' or Anubius Barteri 'Coffeefolia'. Hard to tell with the algae on the leaves.

All anubius are pretty easy to care for & only require low to med lighting. You will find your plant will grow better if you have it attached to a piece of wood or rock in the tank instead of planted in the substrate.
