Looks like Riccia to me. Someone will take it off your hands. As
for getting rid of it good luck. I fight duck weed in my 55 gallon
tank all the time. I find it impossible to get every last piece out
and it only takes one.

Hi,

Some months ago, I added some new plants to my tank. Unfortunately, there
seems to have been an unexpected hitchhiker. I've attached some links to
pictures of this floating weed. Each 'unit' of the plant is about 1-2cm in
diameter.

Anybody know what kind of plants these are? And if so, are there any
effective methods that I can control it with? (Other than physical removal,
which doesn't seem to work all that well).

Thanks in advance,

Truong
