Sorry I spaced this request off. I have attached a two more photos of the plant in hopes that you guys can identify it. This plant survives the winter in this tank. It is somewhat like a grass with a main stalk with smaller leaves branching off.
Hello fish lovers. I have an odd request for plant identification. I am a rancher in southeast Nebraska and on one of my pastures I have four 13 ft tire tanks to water my cattle. The tanks are filled using rural water so it is clean water to begin with. Three of my tanks grow algae and are somewhat green/murky looking but the fourth tank is crystal clear water year round. The only difference is that this fourth tank has some kind of plant growing in it (seems to be flourishing as well). It grows in a black muck/sludge that is around the outside of the tank bottom. If you could identify this plant I would love to plant it in the other tanks or maybe I should just try transplanting some of it? The tanks are not heated but do not freeze solid in the winter (only 6inch layer on top). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
