need help identifying invasive floating planting
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. http://members.rogers.com/asonthebadone/plant1.jpg http://members.rogers.com/asonthebadone/plant2.jpg 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 |

If I had to guess (and I don't; I just can't help myself), I'd say it looks
as much like Riccia fluitans as anything else I'm familiar with. It's kind of hard to tell looking at it through the surface, though. If it is Riccia, you can probably find someone who wants to buy it pretty easily. kush Truong wrote in message le.rogers.com... Hi, Some months ago, I added some new plants to my tank.

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.

able.rogers.com... riccia flutans (crystalwort?) Thanks to everybody for their responses. I believe that it is indeed Riccia Fluitans. I did some digging and some people have made some pretty amazing aquascapes with Riccia, attaching it to logs and rocks and stuff. I have a cork background, so maybe I'll find some way to try to encourage the Riccia to grow on that. Thanks again, Truong |
