hey bro,

quite sure it's not a boivinianus. boivinianus has deep green leaves and it's new leaves are not pink. i have both so i know the diff. this one has bright green soft leaves like crispus and is not stiff like the boivinianus.
i just checked tropica website. wrong spelling. its aponogeton longiplumulosus...
--------
and nuphar genus is commonly noted as lotus. might missed the shimadai or shimada. all lotus has two type of leaves. the floating ones and the submersed ones. i always cut the floating ones.

it doesn't grow very big from xp. had it for more than a year.
nuphar japonica grows very big. the diff between shimadai and japonica is that shimadai has this stem and roundish leaves. the japonica has 3-4 times thicker stem leading to triangle leaves. even japonica has sp, ssp, sp red etc. i know because i've kept more than ten lotus types.
