Microdon...Pest plant?

[Zagz]

I got suckered into taking a huge and I mean huge bag of microdon. It is a pain IMO to plant. Any experience with this stuff? I'm suspecting it quickly becomes a pest plant.

I have never heard of that plant. Do you have some links that I could look at? Thanks.

At first it didn't seem to be the most common of plants thats for sure. But it appears to grow quite easily as our society member had 6 large bags for sale. After some research on google....

Also called Najas guadalupensis, or guppy grass, after a quick google.

Guppy grass isn't to bad, but it will break apart very easily. I had it at one time and got ride of it quite quickly.

Its great for raising livebearer fry. I have been trying to get my hands on some.

If you want to get rid of it i know alot of people who would want it.

LOL Jason, I could have gotten enough to supply half of AA at least yesterday. I may end up getting rid of quite a lot of it, I'll keep you in mind.
