I think it goes without saying you should collect some, grow it, and spread it around the hobby What better way of ensuring its survival?

Callitriche sp. are among my favourite plants! They are pretty darn variable, there are round leaves and narrow leaves on the same plant. They spread by seeds in the aquarium easily, and seem to grow from cuttings as well. I have medium light and have had no CO2 until yesterday, they all do fine. I dose NPK, iron, Mg, Mn, and Zn. Just FYI.


I could distribute some soon, but I don't think I have an endangered species. Callitriche are abundant here! They never seem to grow in water more than a foot and a half. But would they in captivity? My theory is they are just outcompeted if they cannot easily reach the surface. I haven't let mine reach the surface yet, and they are doing fine.
