Echinodorus Uruguyanensis africanus

Another plant I’m not sure of, but i think it’s an Echinodorus Uruguyanensis africanus.

Al leaves where flat when I got it, now alot are abot wrinkly, I added some fertilizer, but that didn't help. It looks healthy, I just thought it might be missing something.

Echinodorus uruguayensis has long, narrow, transparent, dark-green leaves, making it a very beautiful solitary plant for large aquariums. The leaf length and width vary considerably. In good growing conditions it forms an unusual number of leaves, and a nutritious bottom and CO2 addition and slightly acidic water promote growth. A number of species formerly regarded as distinct are now included under the name E. Uruguayensis
