ok so I bought 4 emersed bunches of Hygrophila angustifolia from petco... i think? Is this it?

Will the leaves die when in transition to immersed form?

I got these in my tank now:

thanks

It's a type of H. corymbosa, but yes, it's the 'angustifolia'. There is a species H. angustifolia as well, but that's not what you have.

it looks like what i bought from petco as "blue hygro." It's not the same species, like Tinanti said, but it looks like pretty much the same thing, so you can treat it as such.
