This is a Potamogeton species. Very, cosmopolitan this genus s
occurs everywhere except the poles and has mores epcies in it than any
other aquatic plant genus. Good luck acclimating it to "tropical"
temperatures and non-dormancy in winter. I've never had any luck. It
grows around here, too.

Fontinalis. "a cool water plant" the books all say. Neat stuff.

Disinfect with alum to kill nasties which abound in it.
