An ideas what the high narrow leaf plant is in the middle?

Do you mean the plant with long thin crinkly lancelet leaves Andrew? I agree with Hoggie - looks like C. balansae or C. crispatula var. "balansae"

The circled one - when you zoom in it doesn't look crinkled.

 

[Tim Harrison]

Oh, okay, looks like an Echinodorus of some sort, maybe something like E. palaefolius var. latifolius?

Thanks Tim

I am completely clueless with this and just hoping the wisdom of others can help me so thank you Tim and Hoggie - feel free to draw circles around every plant and name them! haha

 

[Tim Harrison]

Either way, if I remember rightly Pets @ Home sometimes have them in, I think grown by Tropica.
Curiously though they don't appear in Tropica's web site plant list, so I maybe wrong.

And the idiot of the year award goes to..............
Haha, I really wasn't paying enough attention you even said his name which I knew.
My brain really doesn't see the obvious at times!
Thanks alto

It's a grand example of how a tank evolves from it's original hardscape & first months ... maturing into something quite unexpected (at least I'm always surprised )
- hopefully he remembers what that plant is & how it fared

Going over his plant list there's not too many of the ones I'm wanting to identify

Do you think the circled one maybe - Lagenandra thwaitesii?

 

[alto]

I'd pm sanj
It's a guess as to whether the plant is emerse growth that will transition to a rather different submerse leaf (it seems very rigid for a submerse leaf) or if it's just an unusual submerse leaf
Almost a year has passed between the photo entries so it could easily be either guess

 

[Andrew Butler]

I'd pm sanj

I've done so.

Have you experience with lagendandra thwaitesii? And is that what youre talking about being an unusual submersed leaf?

 

[alto]

No

my comment was just based upon the photos from this tank

I wondered that as well, I guess it's a distinct possibility. One of our sponsors, Aquasabi, sell it but it's out of stock at the moment https://www.aquasabi.com/aquatic-plants/middle-ground/lagenandra-thwaitesii

I see aquasabi sell it and as you say out of stock - it seems quite rare.
Typical when I'm trying to simplify things and see a plant I like the look of!
