Frog bit (the perfect Floater)
NOTE: A portion size you will receive when you order this plant is the photo with the yellow ruler.
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 did the bleach water wash because I don't want snails.
I rinsed several times under faucet.
Most of the roots came off, but they're floating around.
Years ago a friend had a green leafy
plant that had round leaves and most were under water. He gave me a handful it multipled so fast I'd throw a 1/3- 1/2 a handful away each
tank cleaning. I need to try and get
Intuch with him to see if ĥe remembers the name.
Purchased plants for a new tank.
Plants came well packaged, and in great condition. They threw in an extra bundle of stems. I ended up with enough stems left over to fill 4 4" terracotta pots for future use.
I am an very happy customer.
Big and beautiful floaters! Love the way they look in my tank. Thank you!
Quality, quanity, and shipping were great.
Apparently they don’t like water flow. I have a small 5.5 gallon tank with a top filter. Half of mine started to turn brown and rot after a couple weeks. Ended up tossing the whole batch.
