So I came across this in the wild and like the look and started doing some research, it's a type of Marsh Mermaid weed. This family of plants seem common in aquariums, and this species of it can survive in water or up on land nearby. I have them in a quarantine after thoroughly cleaning them (just water, no bleach or anything) they are soaking in one of my fruit fly cups with a springwater/distilled mix with a drop of blackwater extract, keeping an eye on any hitch hikers and changing water out every couple days.
I'm thinking of putting some in my R. Variabilis viv. Now I am a bit north on east coast u.s. where i harvested this but this plant is native all the way down to Central America so it definitely lives in tropical areas aswell. I've found vague mentions of it used in with frogs and other amphibians but nothing beyond vague mention. Also could be useful in my tadpole cups I'm assuming. Any thoughts?
