Frogbit

[Zac]

Hey all,

I’m looking to add some frogbit to an aquarium with low/med light plants. What are decent ways to manage it so it doesn’t block out all the light in the aquarium? Are there certain places I could put it where it will minimize the light blocked out?

It grows well in my tank, when it starts taking over, I just remove a bunch.

It will flow to certain areas of your tank, away from the flow of water. If you want to keep it within a certain area, I've seen people contain it will floating airline tubing or something like that. As it spreads, you can just grab a handful and pull it out until you are happy. Then repeat as it grows! 

Some people feed it to their chickens or turtles or such, but it is invasive so be sure you discard it where it won't end up in the water and such.
