He is a dead copod. Fresh water. Mega variety.
I would pay $20.00 plus shipping. For a few of them.

what the hell is that ? I dipped the water lettuce in the bleach solution today and a few of those suckers cam off.

The water lettuce already produced a bunch of sister plants. I pulled off 3 of them. Should they just sperate on their own or can i pull them apart as they grow ?

For some reason my chalceus just chewed up all my frogbit. Gonna look into the duckweed now.

+1 on the dead cocopod. People will pay big money for those for salt tanks!

This was a great thread! Read all 10 pages.

Updates on the plants from the 2 min MB dip kno4te ?

They did fine with the dip. But my chalceus chewed up all the plants. So now looking at alternatives. Seachem denitrate canister in progress.

Just a note, copper is toxic to plants. Most algaecides are made from copper sulfate. Root killer for septic systems usually contains copper sulfate. I would not use any copper solution on plants as a parasite treatment .

My astyanax bimculatus have been eating/chewing up my anubias. But they won't touch the hornwort. Have you've tried it?
