GHSEZG Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 One of my ponds is about 1/2 covered with what I have identified as Najas marina, or Spiny naiad, spiny water nymph. It is closely related to Guppy Grass. It thrives in extremely hard water. I have been using it in my tanks with Goldfish, White Cloud Mountain Minnows, Mollies and Guppies and they all seem to love it. It grows rooted in the pond but I just float it in the tanks. The fish nibble off the roots faster than it grows floating in the tanks, so I just put a new bunch in every week or so since I have an unlimited quantity available. Would there be a market for this plant? I have seen no sign of it in the aquarium trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Try AquaBid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Or maybe a local fish club auction? Plants bring some pretty high prices at the ones near me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHSEZG Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 KatieG and Daniel, I live in the middle of nowhere, closest club would be over a 3 hour one-way drive away, but I might try Aquabid and/or eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 That's a long drive! I've seen home-grown aquatic plants on Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, and Craigslist too as additional options to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
