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.

Died within weeks.

My frogbit arrived fully healthy, green, and no odor whatsoever. It perfectly fit into the application I needed within my paladarium and I even had a few pieces leftover to propagate in my other setups. My animals love it and have been more active in the last day enjoying the shelter it provides them.

They arrived well, aside from some dead roots... they are pretty but I don't think it is amazon frogbit because the leaves grow at uneven Heights and not all of the leaves float. To me they almost look more like lily pads...

Very healthy plants. Each leaf had a long room system. Would buy again

It dissipated

When I receive these, they were all stuck to the side of a styrofoam container. Dried out and I didn't have much hope. I split it between my aquarium and my pond. They were all individual leaves no cluster, no roots. I wasn't hopefull. It has been a month and I have 1 lone leaf left. I won't be purchasing again.

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.
