Looks like Fittonia verschaffeltii - difficult to keep, needs constant warmth (not less than 60 or 65 deg. F minimum, preferss 70 deg and above) and high humidity around its leaves - stand in a pebble filled tray and keep the tray half full with water, place in a very warm spot, won't tolerate direct sunlight.

Also, if you have hard water, it will prefer rain water, or purified water.
