I got this plant for free from someone about a month ago and he didn't know what it was. I wasn't sure how well it would grow but it is definitely flourishing now. What could it be?
(ignore the mess that is my tank floor, it's dirted and I am bad at not moving stuff)

Looks like dwarf sag. Are there tiny horizontal lines across the leaves (if you look really close)?

Saggitaria subulata. Probably spelled wrong.

If there's a vein in the middle of the leaves, I'd say Pygmy Chain Sword (Echinodorus tenellus). Dwarf sag doesn't have it.
