There was just a thread about cabomba spreading like wildfire throughout Long Island ponds and waterways, and asian ambulia is vrey similar growth wise. Kind of makes me disappointed that I just threw out my last bits of it a few weeks ago. But I still have green hygro that will probably never leave my tank *Back in the saddle!*

Any idea where I would “Check local USDA restrictions” for this plant? Ingo PS: Yes, I saw that link to the Cabomba issue in Long Island, have that in my tank too. Guess I will be arrested soon Last edited by Little_Fish at 01-Aug-2005 11:20 Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

NowherMan6 Fish Master Posts: 1880 Kudos: 922 Votes: 69 Registered: 21-Jun-2004	Hi, Yeah, I'm talking about hygro polysperma. That stuff really is a weed, grows like crazy. I tried to remove it all from my tank and I keep finding it in corners etc. I don't know the exact place to look for restrictions but if you go to this page, you can find links to the fish/ wildlife homepage for each state. (I know it's a little weird, it's a page about sugargliders, but it has all the links in it so...) *Back in the saddle!*
