Frogbit. A nice floating plant that grows fast, but is easier to control
than
most floating plants. It can be restricted to a certain area in your tank
by using fishingline just below the water surface, strung out and held in
place
using suction cups.

Hey

I'd like to get some floating plants for my tank, but my previous
experience has always been that the damn things multiply exponentially and
simply add to the chore of weekly culling.

Are there any species around that won't attempt to take over the tank?

Alternatively, i was considering tying a mop of java moss to something
bouyant, anyone tried this or know if it would work?

with thanks
