    - lots of susswassertang
    - lots of baby tears
    - fissidens moss and peacock (I think so) moss

    No clue what this is I have a sneaky suspicion it’s creeping moss, if anyone would like some I have a good couple portions to give away that can come with a micro worm culture. [mention]A new day [/mention] if I could swing by some time and poach a small piece fissendens that would be fantastic

    I would love some of that susswassertang and some moss if possible (especially now I have a tank with livestock thag won't devour it).
    I could come pick it up on Wednesday maybe.

    @Andreas V I could pick some up for you while I'm there if you like?

    Two indigenous species for your pond / wetland/ open garden:

    - cyperus textilis but be warned mine grow to about 2m tall. You’d have to cut away the culms and plant the rhizomes

    - a couple of white arum lily bulbs

    In the tub is quite a lot of limnophilla sessiliflora (easy, fast growing stem plant) plus a few odds and ends - baby tears, susswassertang, ludwigia fragments

    Also a pot of pearl weed I got on Friday. I asked for Monte Carlo, they pulled the wrong plant from the tank and I didn’t double check :oops:

    Ugh, I totally wish my big tank was in the process of being turned into the community tank it's destined to be. Would definitely make use of this.

    Some peacock moss and a fair amount of susswassertang.

    Can also trim pearl weed.

    Did a big trim on the Jungle tank yesterday. In addition to what @DanielS has taken there is more ludwigia, baby tears and pearl weed. I also pulled a big handful of susswassertang which is in another tub.

    In the other tub shown are plants that have sat a while and may need some TLC: fissidens moss, Java moss, pearl weed, hydrocotyle tripartita.
