Almost looks like paddy herb, Limnophila aromatica. But that's a pretty weird plant to get from a local. Could you post some more pics from different angles?

Some pictures below. They're not the best, but that's what I have from this afternoon when I was planting these. I'll try to get more tomorrow if these are not helpful.
For what it is worth, I searched for paddy herb, and it doesn't look much like what I have. The leaves don't have those spikes as paddy herb have.

Some kind of rotala?
Edit: actually, I was trying to think of Ludwigia, I agree with Byron (below)

This being a stem plant, I can think of two that could be it. Ludwigia glandulosa being one, the other probably more likely because of the veining, Alternanthera reineckii. This is something of a guess, as the leaf positioning on the stem and the top leaf surface veining are not all that clear. A photo close-up that shows these two features might help. The pink-red underside of the leaves led me to these two suggestions.
Hello joel. This is a species of Reineckii. These come in several colors from olive green to dark brown. You must have very good lighting. These are easy to grow, but you need to provide some pretty powerful light. Looks like a very healthy plant.
