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 ordered frogbit and it took 3 1/2 days to get to me. I absolutely blame UPS. I watched the tracking as it shipped and it got within 2 hours of me, then shipped to a completely different state. After that it took another day and a half to get to me. Even with a cold pack onside the frogbit showed up mostly yellow and dead. Very disappointing as this was the most wanted plant I ordered from here.
I was quite happy with the large amount of healthy frogbit I received just a few days after placing my order!
My shrimp love hanging upside down on it 😄
My order arrived fast. There was 1 small frog bit with 3 leaves with roots. There was about 15 single leaves. I put all in my pond and will hope for the best. Great communication when I had to change my order so that was a plus for me
All plants I ordered showed up in great condition. Planted them same day and so far no problems will order from this company again!
I don't know if Frogbit notoriously ships poorly or what, but the other plants in the shipment were totally fine. The frogbit looked like something was snacking on it in the 24 hours it took to arrive. Didn't notice any pests when I unpacked it though.
