Yup. Saw it with my own eyes at East Ocean. They sow the seeds and bam 3-5 days fully carpeted. Amazing and fast way to carpet it. Will try it once my guppy tank decommission. I already bought 1 bot / $5.

I'm also keen on trying out those carpet seeds too... for those who have planted those carpet seeds, do post updates on how long the plants can last after they are flooded.
If they can continue growing submersed without issues, these can be a quick way to grow a carpet.
Ya.. was curious too how long it can last after flooded.. also curious to know what plant exactly it is... from the pic it looks like hc or mc..

I actually got to see the actual ones at East Ocean (they grew out a batch in glass bowl with only sand substrate, and flooded it for a few days), it does looks like a super tiny version of HC. The roots are very shallow and fine, like only a few millimeters into the substrate.
Unfortunately no more stock when i was there, have to wait for new stock to arrive. It would be good to find out exactly what type of plant species those are.
Other than east ocean where else sell it.. really hand itchy wanna try it...

wow.... sounds great stuff.
what other plant seed they are selling?
Wow! Any pictures of what the plants will looks like? Can last long like normal plants?
Have seen alot of shops on taobao selling the seeds for carpet,but I have doubt they can last long submerged.
Trial and error.. since local shop is bringing in and using it insuppose it work.. they wont wan a group of customer went back to them and complain and tarnish their own reputation though..

Dont so gan jiong. Look at the carpet first... the leaves are huge... if those who are ok with it then buy. Got to see how big it will grow. Relax wait till the lfs post what it looks like after a month then decide.
LFS already posted picture in their FB page....

Not 1 mth yet. I live very near east ocean and frequent it often. If u guys want just buy a little bit to start off and see if u like it or not. Some ppl might not like the big leaves and prefer something smaller like HC
Cheers
True... still camping for picture of those who had them flooded..
