Thank you! What aquatic plants would you recommend? I was told Duck weed, but I am having a heck of a time finding any.

If you're ok using wild plants, you might be able to harvest some from a swamp/pond. It's pretty rampant out here, maybe it's not in BC? If it is, it's a spready little plant that you can cull without any fear of disturbing its progress. Actually, it usually just expands to instantly fill the space.

I'd use duckweed for my goldfish, but it gets in their filter so they get Canadian Pondweed, another cull from the wild. It's an easy to grow plant that will survive indoors, underwater, and it's safe for fish (they eat it), but I haven't used it for frogs.

I think you've said before you've managed to kill pothos? It's water tolerant as well. You can propagate it by putting cuttings of the vine into a jar filled with water and leaving in a window or under an artificial light. This way you can always have backups if the frogs manage to smash it.

Agreed but by propagating it, you should know itll take a while for it to grow roots and all. In any case you would just want to take 3inches of the stalk with a leaf of course and put it in small jar with water that contains nutrients(poo?). Make sure the leaf doesnt get wet. A wet leaf is bound to rot.

As for taking wild plants and putting them in a tank Id say you should "quarantine" the plants for a couple of weeks. Personally Id use meds used for fish. Just make sure the plants can take itand that its either safe for plants or if it isnt is used in half way. Im alittle bit paranoid about aquatic plants when it comes from ponds and introducing them with a species of animal that isnt even native to this region. As for spreading duckweed and any sort of pond plant. I dont think its that hard to do so. Duckweed is like something that you cant kill. Its very hardy. and spreads like a wild fire.
