Default Help identify this plant please

I think your plant is a form of Syngonium. This plant is a bog or terrarium
plant and will not thrive totally submersed. I have two species of
Syngonium in my fishroom--however they are only partially submersed. Tak the
stems off the wood and out of the aquarium. Place them in the back wih the
leaves sticling out of the water. Make sure thsy get some light from the
room or a window. Soon the roots will grow thought the aquarium (fish,
especially fry, love it) and the leaves will grow all around the tank (the
room!!).

I hope this helps.

On the weekend I purchased a very interesting plant from the LFS.The

leaves
are brown-red and have the shape of the arrowhead plant shown here

http://www.plantgeek.net/images/plantpics/arrowhead.jpg

The plant was sold as a group of low-lying leaves/stems/small roots
attached/tied to a piece of wood. The piece of wood was totally covered, I
initially thought it was an onion. Some of the leaves have longer 1-2

stems
and are biggers in size (2-3 inches in length ?).

The plant is very delicate in general. Could not identify it, neither

could
the guy at the LFS.

Any idea what it is? I'll try to take a picture of it if my description is
not sufficient.

Thanks
