Floating Plants

[pippoodle]

is it ok to leave java moss or riccia as a floating plant ?
i want some floaters for fry to hide in
i've seen Salvinia natans , Aeschynomene fluitans and Amazon Frogbit on ebay for sale
are these any good?

sorry for asking lots of questions just never had any live bearers before or a planted a tank with more a couple of plants in

I also have tonnes of the stuff if you need any

Yeah go with frogbit.

Java moss can be the ultimate horror (in terms of looks) if you leave it floating.

I like duckweed and waterlettuce , And dont worry about asking questions. Its what the forums are for, learning

Java Moss will sink as well.

Hi. I'm interested in the frogbit. Is any one has spare, can you PM me with a cost for posting etc?

I'm in the very early stages of starting up a new planted tank - first attempt!
