Scott... what kind of Ceratopteris is this? I have 3 kinds and none of them
produce milky fluid. It's great to have plants filling up your tank! I hope
you are not throwing these plants away. I used to do that years ago. Take
them to your local fish store and trade or sell them. Or trade/sell them to
other aquarists. When I think of how many terrific plants I threw away, I
shudder.
