    Hi Hong,
    it seems to be Plagiomnium affine (?), referring to the emersed serrated broad and the submerged small leafes. P. affine is a widespread emers species and will survive submerged by chance. One's say P. affine can adapt submerged habitats, others classify such forms to a subspecies. I saw the "stringy look" at my collected Plagiomnium and Cinclidotus after cultivation. Both survived till now (3 month).
    Regards Uwe

    Hi,

    I think that bryophyte with bigger leaves is a liverwort.
    It can be liverwort from genera Chiloscypos, subgenera Lophocolea.
    That with smallest leaves, is, I'm sure, a moss.
    It is similiar to Brachythecium rivulare. See zobek's photos:








    But your moss don't have easy to noticed costa (mid vein) in leaves .
