Hi All :)
I have some extra Amazon Frogbit. In Australia, this is a hard to find floating plant. It goes great in amazon biotype setups for discus.
Mine is growing in a tank that receives fertilisation & fourish excel weekly with each water change.
$5.00 for a serve. A serve = a small net full. I won't have that much available, but if you're interested, please send me a pm to arrange a pick up time.
Information
Common Name: Amazon Frogbit
Syn: Limnobium stoloniferum, Hydromistria stoloniferum, Salvinia laevigatum
Family: Hydrocharitaceae
Category: Floating Plants
Temperature: 4 - 32 C
PH: 6.0 - 7.5
Lighting: Medium to High
Growth Rate: Fast
Difficulty: Easy
Origin: Tropical america
Position in Aquascape: Floating
Remarks: A fast-growing species that should be given fertilizer and thinned often. Frogbit serves as a good spawning material and is an excellent fry refuge. There should be a cover and adequate room between the surface of the water and the light so that the leaves are not burned.
