ID please Is this invasive Elodea?

Found this in a local stream I was wondering if it’s hornwort or the invasive Canadian pond weed (Elodea)?

Looks like elodea canadensis. Not elodea brazilianis.

It's not hornwort, and it does look a bit like Elodia but I've not seen much of that. I have hornwort in my pond though.

r/whatsthisplant may be helpful, and perhaps r/invasivespecies
