Question

what are frog bit and what type of plant is it

Answer 1

Amazon frogbit (Limnobium laeviatum) is an easy to care for, floating aquarium plant. It is native to Central and South America, though in recent years it has reported in North America as an invasive species. It is now found throughout much of California, and continues to spread via releases and escapes from the aquarium trade.

This plant is very popular as an ornamental plant, and is often found in both ponds and aquariums. The juvenile plants grow leaves that lie flat with the water, while the more mature plants will have emergent leaves above the water. They produce small, white flowers upon reaching maturity, which makes them one of the most attractive floating plants available.

Amazon frogbit can grow up to 20 inches (50 cm) in the home aquarium, and it can easily spread across the entire surface of an aquarium. Because of this, it needs to be regularly thinned. If it is left unchecked, it will completely cover the surface of an aquarium, which can lead to oxygen depletion. It will also prevent any other plants in the aquarium from receiving any light.
