I'm looking to buy some floating plants for my 75. I just lost my brand new Electric Blue Acara male to jumping.

I do not want duckweed or anything similar. It does FAR too well in my tanks.

Will need heat packs because I am in Northern Wisconsin.

Thanks.

Need to keep a lid on your tank if want an EB Acara I've seen mine hit the glass once or twice jumping out the water during feeding time...sorry for your loss

Thanks. It has a lid but one of the glass panes is broken/missing. I'm trying to find another one, but want floating plants as well as extra security.

Hey there,..
I have had some success with frogbit. It has worked well with low tech tanks.

Frogbit is high on my list. I like that the leaves are bigger. The duckweed was EVERYWHERE and stuck to EVERYTHING because it was so tiny.

I have Amazon frogbit in a couple of my tanks - also red root floaters and dwarf water lettuce. They all grow really fast and I throw away handfuls each week. I wouldn't mind shipping you some but I have never shipped with a heat pack. I've mailed zip lock bags and paper towels over warmer months...

What kind of heat packs do you guys use to ship fish/plants?
