Well picked this up yesterday and I’m guessing it’s a house plant. DD157129-9D79-42E9-B82A-43A91E7B1324.jpegI think it’s an arrowhead plant. It was fully submerged in the tank. Any idea if this is an aquarium plant.

I think you are correct in what it is, and I think it's not supposed to be fully submerged, just the roots. kind of need to get it recovered and see what it does for flowering to figure out the species exactly.

Not a house plant though, it's that emergent zone type plant for ponds where the roots are submerged and the plant grows up from there. I really can't imagine what else it could be besides that.

Yes it’s a syngonium and will rot if fully submerged. Common as pot plants.
 
Definitely an arrowhead. I have these plants emersed in some of the filters of the goldfish tanks and they've always thrived. Seems they prefer high lighting, but they can do fine in low and medium as well :)

Yeah that’s what I figured. I’ve already pulled it out and have the roots in the water. But not the greatest lighting. Will have to move it to another tank. Hate when stores do this. But it was cheap $3 so if it grow I’m doing good. I should have figured never seeing it before. This place also sells peace lilies as Brazilian swords fully submerged :rolleyes: .
 

Random Great Topic!
