Frog bit (the perfect Floater)
NOTE: 1 portion size looks like the photos labeled "1 PORTION SIZE"
How would you like the perfect floating plant? A plant that doesn't take over like duckweed? A plant that you can easily remove if it is blocking out too much light?
A plant that has the most symmetrical from of any floating plant?
Say hello to Frog bit. What is it's scientific name? In the words of a great southern plant supplier... "Honey, it didn't come with a birth certificate." (We believe it's Limnobium laevigatum)
This is cool round little plant.
It has leaves that are around an inch in diameter. They are nearly perfect circles. Unlike a dwarf lily or a red tiger lotus these leaves have a thicker texture to them. They seem to be a bit more durable.
While I don't keep plant eating fish, I would guess these would hold up to plant eaters a tad better than a duckweed.
These would make a great edition to a tank that is suffering from an algae problem as they would be able to cover a decent amount of surface area in a small amount of time.
LIKE ALL FLOATING PLANTS... These have the "Aerial advantage" that is to say they can get more both more light and CO2 from the waters surface. (CO2 is easier to obtain form the atmosphere than in water, and the light- any light- doesn't need to penetrate any water at all)
What I like about this plant is how it stays as ONE unit and makes a "mini lily pad" setup for our smaller indoor setups.

Doing well on top of newly planted tank
Healthy, beautiful, well packaged and fast shipping! I will definitely be returning. Thank you so much!
The Frogbit portions I received were generous and very green. My old Frogbit was not very vigorous, and some fresh plants were just what I needed.
These plants are hard to ship, so there were some broken roots and leaves. But I rinsed carefully and set the intact plants in my aquarium, and almost everything put out rootlets within two days. Even the bits with only a couple of tiny leaves. The instructions and info sheet included were also very nice!
This was my first purchase from you, and I will definitely recommend you and purchase again!
Its fun to watch these guys grow. Every hour by the hour yoy can see activity.
Great growing plant and floater. Leaves long roots into water for helping clean and looks cool!
