Excess plants

[k3ch0ng]

Other than composting what can I do with excess aquatic plants?

Have dwarf lettuce and Pennywort taking over the tank, would fish eat it if I crushed it up?

I feed mine to my Uaru as it is.
Unable to keep plants with them as far as they're concerned Echinodorus means "Hors d'oeuvre!"

You may be able to get a credit note for them at a LFS. Partially I like Amazon Frogbit as a floater because it is always in demand and easy to give away.

Give it away/ sell it on the Sale area of UKAPS.

The sale area will become visible after the op makes 25 posts, great idea though Ryan

Hi all,

I think probably because it isn't that easy to buy in shops, partially because you have to grow it floating, and that doesn't really fit in with the way that <"Tropica"> etc produce their plants.

How about this as an offer? <"3 x large Amazon Frogbit plants">.

If you have Riccia and Lemna minor (Duckweed) you can sell them as well. Unfortunately the (equally "weedy") Azolla caroliniana is now on the EU banned list.

I used to be quite gutted trimming back and having to chuck the cuttings...... then a load of friends got the bug and I gave them loads. Now they are fully planted I'm back to composting them and it breaks my heart :/
