the leaves can get as large as a penny AND it is NOT the invasive pain
duckweed is. It can easily be cleaned out if you tire of them. From what I
understand, it is a good nutrient sponge as well.

Just beware that this plant multiplies so quickly that soon you will be
supplying every local pet store with as much as they can handle. I love
how this stuff looks, but I also have trouble throwing perfectly good plants
away. The last bunch I threw in a wading pool, where it quickly covered the
entire surface -- I'll just end up throwing it out. So this is a good plant,
but perhaps not a good plant for people who have trouble throwing excess in
the garbage. :o)
