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.

Customer Reviews
These are absolutely the healthiest plants I have ever received from anywhere. I will definitely order from you again!
Likely the very hot weather to blame, this was the only part of my order that wasn’t great. Most the leaves were smashed and had turned to mush but i was able to pull out a couple decent ones.
Frog bit came in mushy disintegrating and smelling like death. Water sprite came in great.
It works
Our original shipment of frog bit arrived sad due to the horrible heat, but the issue handled quickly and with courtesy; within an hour of being emailed we had a new shipment on the way! The frog bit arrived healthy and happy. Our tank is a classroom favorite and the students said Dustin’s deserves “infinity stars” for the excellent customer service. ❤️
