It doesn't appear to be a Cabomba species.  The first thing that popped into 
my head when I saw it was that it looked a lot like a sprig of Rotalla sp. 
"Nanjenshan"!  We also collected some Myrio species, but I didn't bring any 
back.

I was surprised at the quantity of plant species, too.  The most I've ever 
found in one locale before that was 9!  The fish species were also 
numerous - 3 sunfish species, 2 killie species, a Gambusia, a Pirate Perch, 
several Darters (at the bottom of the spillway) of at least 2 species, and 
even some Ghost Shrimp of a variety I haven't seen before.

We're of like mind on the collecting. I love picking up an aquatic plant 
sprig or catching a few fish and seeing what happens when they get home.

Take care,

Mike
