Myriophyllum aquaticum aka Parrot feather.
Can be grown submersed or emersed.
Very quick growing.
Used as a nutrient absorber and for oxygenation.

That's really pretty. Wanna trade for some other plants? 
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

I'll wait till it grows out a bit.
After I divide it (or attempt to) I may be able to trade it off
I have never had this plant before do we'll see how it goes.

Re: Parrot feather (by request)
I just got a pile of it, too. It's at all the garden centers this year, it seems. And it grows fast, outside at least, I think mine's doubled in a week! If you're in our area before JP's, I should have enough to spare within a few weeks if it continues growing like that!
