I am hoping someone can help ID this plant. I rescued it from a friend who was moving and they had no idea what it was. It was certainly too nice to throw in the trash and with new soil and my TLC it has lots of new leaves starting.

It looks like a Goldfish plant Nematanthus gregarius (Goldfish Plant, Guppy Plant)

I would guess Nematanthus as well. If/when it flowers, you'll know for sure.
