Spent several hours planting mayaca stems today and found some strange little plant growing amongst the stems on each of the bunches of mayaca. It is a strange very delicate looking stringy plant with little leaves very spaced out. I rescued about 1" square of the stuff.
By coinsidence I was looking at Greenline for floating plants and I saw Utricularia gibba, a small floating insectivorous plant. This the best pic I can find with google images:
Looks very similar. A nice write up here:

I think I'll try to grow it on in my small tank and see if I can get a cool floating carpet plant from it.
