12 Water Spangles (Salvinia Minima), Live Aquarium/Aquatic/Floating/Pond/Freshwater Plant by G&Z

First off, the plants are just beautiful. Shipped in quality packaging and all plants survived the journey. Large healthy leaves and long healthy roots. I love them. My fish love them too, and will occasionally nibble at them. My larger fishes eat the roots enough to kill the plant, but the plants flourish in my betta tanks. They’re a perfect hangout spot for frogs and smaller fish. The leaves themselves have hydrophobic hairs that keep them floating and upright, which is super neat. Beads of water will sometimes collect on top of the leaves which can cause them to rot but it hasn’t been a major issue. Then there’s what I can’t decide is a blessing or a curse. I think I finally understand what my math teacher was saying about exponential growth in high school. I can’t believe I only bought 12 plants. It took a few weeks for the plants to settle in, and then they EXPLODED. I see new baby leaves almost every other day. My tanks are heated, filtered, and have standard LED lighting. Enough plants have grown to completely cover two 10-gallon tanks with plenty to spare. I read reviews before purchasing and no, they are not exaggerating. It’s been exciting watching them multiply and in spite of the chaos I am pleased to report the plants are healthy and growing well.

These arrived quickly and are very healthy. They arrived in a ziplock, inside a cup inside a box. The amount was as described and a good amount. They were green and ready to grow upon arrival. I also grow duckweed in my 55 gallon aquarium. It provides some shade from the aquarium's overhead fluorescent lights and food for the fish to nibble outside of their regular feeding times. I control the growth by scooping out the overgrowth and mulching my garden with the floating plants. I live in South Florida so I have a year round garden. Having this ability to enjoy the beauty of these floating plants, entertain my fish with them and then use the extra plants as free fertilizer and mulch, makes this type plant a must have for gardeners with aquariums!

Received plants and came with worms and snails - I have been fighting to get rid of them ever since I ordered these plants and nothing kills them. I am not happy I Have been fighting these things for months! I removed substrate cleaned the entire tank and have done hydrogen peroxide everything I can think of and they arrived with these plants and not happy I have had uninvited guests in my tank I can’t kill! The snails are little white spots on tank you can use fingernail to slide up and wipe in paper towel the worms look clear and .01cm to 2” very thin. So make it short and simple - live plants are suppose to be good eco system for fish but these Demetrius worms and whatever snails I don’t want and they multiply like rabbits! I got plants for bettas and mistake

The plants themselves are nice...but they infested my tank. The plants arrived in a tiny cup, kind of like the ones you get at a takeout restaurant that holds a sauce, and there were tiny little bugs in the cup. I rinsed them out at least five times and I quarantined them for 4-5 days, but low and behold. They finally go in my tank and I've got these little white things crawling around my tank.

I got these guys and they were healthy! They shipped in winter so I wasn’t sure if they’d make it. I waited a bit to write a review to see how they would do in my tank. So far, it has been a couple weeks since I ordered and the salvinia is taking over the top of the tank! The pads grew pretty big and quickly started reproducing. My only complaint, is that there were detritus worms attached and a mini-ramshorn snail. Detritus worms aren’t harmful just a little gross looking, but ramshorn snails reproduce quickly and can take over a tank if left unchecked. A lot of either of them means you have too much nutrients/uneaten food in the tank. I didn’t really wash the plants properly to disinfect them; just to rinse them off, so I would definitely look up how to disinfect them in the future before throwing them in the tank. It was my mistake just tossing them in after a little rinse. Otherwise, this was a worthwhile purchase and the plants seem pretty hardy.

Very surprised at the perfect condition.i probably got 20 clusters which I am very happy about!! (I’m establishing the plants first during my cycle before I add my animal)

I never write review because I’m usually busy with work or home but I had to take time out of my day to review this product because it’s incredible. I ordered 3 packs on behalf of my aquarium children and not only did it come very neatly organized but little to no dead plants on arrival. I usually go to my neighborhood pet shop to buy plants but I wanted to give my little buddies more of a natural feeling, so after doing my research I went out to the pet shop to do some shopping but to my surprise they only carry the artificial ones. So sadly my hunt began and I found live plants on Amazon, Yea I know I was skeptical at first too because it’s live plants getting shipped to my house. So I was digging around the reviews and I finally gave in and ordered a couple packs, just in case one didn’t come out so well I still had a couple more, but let me tell you this was one package that surpassed my expectations. I’m here to tell you that this product is legit !
