Vals need a very good soil. They don't do well in sand even if fertilized.
The plant pictured looks very like one I found in SC. I never did get a positive ID, but it was one of the most abundant plants in several waterways. In an aquarium it likes to trail the stem on the surface to maximize availability of light and CO2, which tends to make the submerged portion ugly. With very active trimming it can probably be made to work. It did seem to mostly stay submerged in the wild.
