Another Plant I.D. Needed

Would like to know what the large plant in the middle of this picture is. Temple Plant maybe?

Thanks,
Chris

some sort of sword.

It might be Echinodorus amazonicus

Definitely some sort of sword (Echinodorus *). Tough to tell exactly which one from this picture. I'd lean toward amazonicus, too, though.

Temple plant? o.O

Amazon Sword

Yes, Amazon sword.

temple plant is usually some sort of Hygrophila, generally H. corymbosa, and sometimes is Alternanthera reineckii, but none of those things are what you have.

i would agree that that is an Amazon sword (echinodorus sp.)
