    Hi,

    I'm looking for some floating plants for my 2 feet tank....
    I quite dislike duckweek as it is so small and pretty messy...
    Are there any alternatives such as a bigger version of the tiny duckweed?
    Where can I get them? thanks!

    Hi,
    i think that mosquito ferns would be a good alternative as it is not as super fast growing, a little bigger as compared to duckweed, and thus easier to manage. I'm not too sure where it is available though.

    Cheers!

    Amazonian frogbit, Limnobium laevigatum, maybe?

    IMHO, this is one of the best. It's easy to get rid of when it propagates too much. Ask around in the Marketplace & you may get some for free.
