Not really a weed, just a houseplant!!!

Take it out and put it in a vase, it will live a lot longer.

Looking great.

Personally though, I'd move the heater to the back of the tank, and hide it and the filter pipe behind tall plants.

Other than that big

looks good!!
we've been sold that plant before as an aquatic plant too!! it looks fine for a few weeks then starts to rot, a lot of plants sold by lfs are actually semi-aquatic (if aquatic at all!!!)& just will not survive fully submerged for very long. we now dont buy any plant unless we're sure it is actually fully aquatic. live & learn as they say.
