My first guess was Lobelia cardinalis, but looking at it longer Im not so sure now. Was it in a tank when you bought it?

@CassCats @connorlindeman
Any ideas?
 
I think its lobelia too 👍🏻 I've never seen them do well as a strictly aquatic plant
 
I am worrying too about how to keep those purple leaves.
It grows purple like that when it's emersed, I had no idea it transitioned when submerged 😳 learned something new today 😁
 
Purple waffle. it's a garden plant and needs to be out of water otherwise it will be dead in a week.

I was hoping it wasnt purple waffle. It does look very similar to cardinal plant.
 
It looks nothing like any cardinal plant i've owned emersed or submsersed. Purple waffle sounds right.
