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
I received healthy plants and a pretty good amount of them! Shipping only took 3 days and you can tell the amount of care that went into packaging. I'll definitely be buying from here again!
Received just a few pieces of an unhealthy diseased plant.
This purchase has been a long time coming . For years I have watched Dustin’s YouTube videos about live plants and other topics he has provided to the masses. Finally after years of watching I took the plunge and decided to buy some plants. I’ve been doing a lot of research on a good floating plant and frog bit was definitely on my radar. I was so happy when Dustin‘s advertisement for a frog bit sale came about. It was as if the universe knew. It’s been in the tank for a couple days and has already shown growth with new leaves sprouting . Thank you Dustin for all the info over the years and providing a top tier product . I’ll be purchasing some other plants in the coming days . Plant on my guy . :)
I ordered 2 Red Root Floater and 2 Frogbit. They came very well packaged and in great shape. And they arrived on time.
I recently have a bad experience with another company about 2 weeks ago so I was a little nervous about ordering online. But I am pleasantly surprised with Dustinsfishtanks, and I will be ordering from them again. I highly recommend this company
