Description

Dwarf Water Lettuce -- frogbit? (Pistia stratiotes) You are bidding on 10 (10+) Dwarf Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes), also known as frogbit or frogbite?. They are an aquatic plant in the arum family, Araceae. I see them in essentially two different forms -- 1. as a juvenile plant that resembles large duckweed -- but it is not duckweed. 2. as adults (given a lot of light - usually outdoors ) and these look like water lettuce or water cabbage but are much smaller. You will be getting 10 of the larger plants and some juvenile plants. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistia for some info and pictures.

Shipping cost is $7.00, priority mail for one small box (small flat-rate box). Combine them with our cultures of or russian red daphnia and/or russian red wigglers in the medium flat-rate box for $13.00 shipping plus whatever price you can negotiate with Rhonda (email Rhonda -- rlmoormann@gmail.com). Live arrival is guaranteed only with Express mail, FedX next day or air cargo (Southwest). For non-alive-arrival claims a picture of the fish in the unopened bag within 72 hours is required (remember that the guarantee is for Express mail, FedX next day or air cargo only). None of the shipping companies has meaningful insurance -- only the shipping cost will be reimbursed on a successful claim -- if you try to push the issue the likely result will be that they will flag your destination area to not receive shipped animals. Most people want Priority Mail which is not guaranteed for live arrival or for a delivery time but is usually successful without heat packs for fish when your local temperatures remain between 60F and 90F for 72 hours after the date we agree to mail them -- so pay attention to your local weather. We have heat packs for an additional $1.00 each but only ask for them when the high temperature remains below 75F to avoid fish stew. PLEASE NOTE: We can't ship this item to CA or PR due to laws in each respective state. Thanks for your understanding. Note that for daphnia, red-wigglers, scuds, and plants they only need to avoid freezing temperatures. We pack all non-labyrinth breathing fish with 100% oxygen above the clean/aged water. For any questions, to negotiate shipping, and other quantities or combinations, email Rhonda at rlmoormann@gmail.com Click to Enlarge Pic 3 More Information Be sure to look at the movie(s) below. The water lettuce we have is a smaller variety than normal water lettuce but in some of my greenhouse tanks it is the only filtration I use. In the larger sizes (like we are offering) there are large roots and the plant roots are similar to water hyacinth. You can see some Dwarf Water Lettuce on YouTube at link(s) Dwarf Water Lettuce All fish, plants, and live food are sold as is. See our web site at marinefreshtropical.com for more information . On the Species page of the site is a Excel 2000 spreadsheet with more species of available fish. Air cargo is typically $70 for the first 100# -- about 3 large boxes -- fish and shipping must be pre-paid. We also have a jobber list of our fish at even lower prices but in larger quantities. We are mostly a hatchery and grow-out operation but we have access to a 30+ page list of fish we can order -- we recently had 200 bettas dropshipped to NY for a fund-raiser for example. Larger fish and larger quantities are available. We can ship airport to airport.
