Can Someone Please Id This Plant For Me

[Ny82]

Hi, when I picked up my barbs yesterday, there was this huge bushy plant in their tank I liked the look of it and bought that one and the bunch in the next tank too. It's shooting up and growing really well. I have amazon swords and cabomba in the tank too.
Does anyone know what it is please?
 

 
It's the one in the background and the cuttings I had to make at the front on the right. 
 
Close up of the leaves.

It's water wisteria; sometimes called Indian fern, water sprite or Ceratopteris

Of course, especially when it doesn't happen very often
 
So I will just leave this plant as it is, it's growing really fast (almost out the top of the tank already) and my barbs love it. I am hoping to use the cuttings to line the back of the tank and hopefully it will grow big like the cabomba does!

Indian fern and wisteria are 2 different types arint they? although they look very similar

I don't know. When I seen the leaves of Indian fern I wasn't sure if it was the same because on mine the leaves are a distinct shape and sort of curl. 
I am going to put some cuttings into my guppy tank. The fry will be able to hide in this for sure!

Yes; I think there might be three, or even four, different species in that family. You can pretty much treat them as interchangeable though; certainly most shops don't differentiate between them.
