    I have read this plant's sap is toxic. Not sure if it releases sap when cut or when convert from emmersed to submersed. Anyone can attest to it?

    I came upon this thread in APC when I was bored...

    Post #6 stated that Lobelia is poisonous... But apparently, the fish that ate the plant is still swimming...
