Howzit going everyone. Got a bunch of RED ROOT FLOATERS that are over taking my outdoor pond. I'm offering a snack ziplock bag full of Red Root Floaters for $14 shipped. They will be packed in a small USPS priority box.

Please IM me if interested. Thanks.

I cut them very short at the moment... nothing to really take a picture of. :frown: hoping they'll grow back a bit more bushy.

I have bought Red Root Floaters from taniner in the past, and they are great!

Free bump!

Those red root floaters are super cool. But, how fast do they grow? Will they totally take over a 54g tank in a short time (i.e. duckweed!) or could they float around for a while and only have to be reduced every few weeks? I want to reduce the light in my tank just a bit, and some floaters could do the trick but if they are out of control that might not work

I've only had mine for a week, but from what I see, they can be fast growers. However, removing them should be easier than removing duckweed.

IMO, I don't think floaters are the best way to filter light. They almost completely cover every hole at the surface, reducing light penetration significantly.

To filter light, I find the best way is to let some stem plants grow floating. Something like Hygrophila sp. 'Tiger' works best for me.

They much larger than duckweed and way easier to remove if wanted. I've yet to hear of a red root floater plague.
