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!"

Hi all,

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 :/
