    It is probably Marchantia polymorpha ssp. polymorpha = Marchantia aquatica.
    What is a diameter of the thallus?

    You can to try this. Show us a photo this liverwort in aquarium after severall weeks. I think that posibly lowest temperature is essential.
    I found only another subspecies of M. polymorpha to this time and it didn't grow in my aquarium.

    Sorry for my english too

    I will try it, I all ready placed it in my Neocaridina tank (11l). I will took more pictures after several a weeks. It's wery beutifull liverwort, and I really hope
    it does survive when submersed.

    I think there are very few doubts it is M. polymorpha.
    I have a long experience with this species having seen (in nature) and cultivated both its emersed and submersed forms.
