Amazon Frogbits Limnobium Laevigatum Live Aquarium Aquatic Floating Plant

Update 1/1/15: The frogbit has outgrown the 10 gallon aquarium I've been keeping it in. So it does grow really good after a little die off at first. After transferring some to another aquarium I noticed some 1-2 inch white worms (nematodes?) swimming around. Since the frogbit had been by itself in the other aquarium, the worms must have been from the frogbit. I plan to give the rest of my frogbit a diluted beach dip but I'm not sure if it can handle it, so I won't do it to all the plants at once.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I received my Amazon frogbit 4 days ago. They were shipped pretty quick. I currently have them in a 10 gallon heated aquarium. Enough arrived to completely cover about an 7x10 inch area of the aquarium. I started with one 6500k 100 watt equivalent cfl over them, but today added another 2300k(I think) 100 watt equivalent over them just for some extra light. There have been a few leaves dying but overall I think the plants look well. Some new pads appear to be opening up and it looks like there may be some root growth. They are currently in a fish free aquarium with zero current. I've so far added a little Seachem iron and Excel. I'm still waiting for the flourish I ordered to arrive in the mail. Since there are no fish, I did add a very small amount of miracle grow for vegetables while I was waiting on the seachem nutrients. I might add an air stone to keep the nutrients moving, but not create too much current for the frogbit.Any advice if I'm doing anything wrong is welcome. Overall I would buy again from this seller. Frogbit seems to be a risky plant to ship, but mine seems to have arrived fine.

I ordered three bags of Frogbits and received four. The plants were in really good shape. I wasn't sure what to expect from reading reviews. I split the plants between mine and my mom's aquariums, a bucket and an outdoor fish pond. I wanted to be sure that some lived in at least one of the places. lol I had quite a few leaves that just looked like single little leaves but they are growing tiny little roots. My bigger, intact plants in all locations are putting out runners with new plants on them as well as sending down fuzzy little roots. In my aquarium, there are drops of water that are staying on some of the leaves. After all I've read, I'm a little concerned about the longevity of my plants under these conditions. But that will be my fault and nothing to do with the plants themselves or the seller. I'm thrilled with my purchase and would order again in a heartbeat.

The picture looks great but then there is a picture of a cup and a ruler showing 3", just for scale of the plants I thought, wrong.After waiting so long I was thinking of canceling the order, they arrived. I was surprised to find that the 3" cup of plants was actually what I had paid just short of $20 for.Thinking that maybe they multiplied quickly I placed them in the tank. The next day I saw some leaves floating loose but figured maybe that was from the shock of shipping. The second day more loose leaves and the third day all were floating free, forth day all dead and gone.Do I think this is a rip off - oh yes.

All turned brown and died

Shipping was 4 days. a little yellow in color but I'm hoping in a few days it'll bounce right back. I put this into my aquariums that I keep alligator snapping turtles in the first aquarium is a 90 gallon my second aquarium is a hundred twenty five gallon. I'm hoping in a few months the surface of the aquariums will be covered. my only recommendation to the seller would be to put more in the bag. I guess the only way to get a decent amount is to order more than one order other than that I would definitely recommend ordering this product from this seller.

These came in today, small box with a ziplock inside. Wet cloth kept em moist, 3-4 small groups with roots and 5-6 singles with stems. Happy with purchase.

Received the plants in mail in a very timely manor.They came in a sealed baggie and were still moist when they arrived.None of the plants were damaged too badly. The existing roots did fall off but this is normal.I took the plants and put them in a quarantine tub for a few days to make sure no stragglers came along with them, there were none plants were very clean..After a few days in my aquarium they began to grow new healthy roots and are flourishing in my tank.After two weeks in the tank the plants look great, have a very healthy root structure and are multiplying.The frog-bit is doing a great job of removing nitrates as my levels have dropped quite a bit with just the few plants I put in the tank..I would definitely recommend this seller for their plants and would absolutely recommend Frogbit for a freshwater aquarium.

Wish I would've bought more
