I thought you'd have a problem NOT cultivating them. just one leaf floating in the tank will soon find it covering the whole surface, unless you have root-eating fishes.
HI guys,
Does anyone here try cultivating Amazon Frogbit Limnobium laevigatum ?

Oh... I put a some in my betta tank, but after sometime all turn yellow and died. so i try growing them in various condition in my office.
1) in a air-con surrounding with light
2) in open space under the sun
3) in a room temp. place under the light.
just trying to find out what is the best way to prevent them from dying in my betta tank.

in items 1 and 3, what do you mean by "light" ?

item 3) florucent light.. those light u find in the office.. 2m away
item 1) hydrogen bulb but is about 2 meter away from the plant
not enough light (which is expected when they turn yellow). only (2) should work. in their habitat they grow in open water bodies and receives full sun.

Thanks,
Anyway I notice tat your location is at tampines, mine at st 82. cheers
I leave my floating in tanks with just a FL lighting. They propagate but process is slow. Took a piece and put in my T5 tank. Waiting to see if they propagate much faster.

In my case, outdoor is still the best... they grew very fast.
Hi guys,
I tried them several times in my 2 shrimp tanks, they never survive .... even in a 1 ft cube with less than 10 shrimps, guess the shrimps munch off all the roots.
Any guy care to spare me some to try again?
This time I am going to put them in my killies tank, l already have a few giant duckweeds (Spirodela polyrhiza) in there and they looks ok.
cheers,

Wat i know is that root is not the matter... Light is... according to what i read... FrogBite can survied even if the tail is been munch off...Originally Posted by Limbeh
