Thats a leopard ceptomis.
I assume its from petsmart? They have them mis labled.

The sword actually looks more like a radican sword. Tank looks pretty good. You need to move the co2 ladder to the right side. Where it is, more of the co2 will be gassed off. Personally I don't like those ladders as the diffusion rate is not very good.

Heh, yea I did get it from petsmart, but I know its a Ctenopoma acutirostre. People recognize spotted leaf fish easier so I thought what the heck.

There are several varieties of radican sword, the one he has looks to be echinodorus cordifolius v. "Florida".
