Hi all, can anyone ID this plant in the attachment? Thanks in advance

i believe this is some sort of Myriophyllum sp.
Perhaps M. mattogrossense.

Hey bro thanks!! Looked up the name u gave and it is indeed the plant that I asked for

Is it common in local aquarium? Any value to it? Or is it some kinda unwanted plant already?

i don't know if its common...but it sure grows fast.. most Myriophyllum sp. do.

It's weedy if that's what you're asking but Aquajournals have tanks with Myriophyllum matogrossense growing superbly.

So it's considered as weeds?

Yes, at first, it was a feature in my tank also to cover my CO2 diffuser and tubes, now it's becoming a forest as a background beside my moss wall...

Soon it'll cover my filter inlet as well... lol...
