A plant new to me

I’m not a plant specialist so this plant is new to me. So does anyone know what plant this is. No, it is not Java Moss. The leaves are much smaller, narrower and more pointed at the tip.

It grows in a clumps, like Java Moss:

It just suddenly appeared in my 40 gallon breeder tank about 4 months ago. I don’t know where it came from, but now it is growing all over the tank. The only fish I added to the tank at around this time were a trio of Green-gold Corys (Osteogaster melanotaenia) that were locally spawned - and I had them in quarantine by themselves for almost 10 weeks. I think this is where my Rodway Tetras (Hemmigrammus rodwayi) – the guppies of the tetra world – are now breeding … and breeding … and breeding … !

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
