Didnt know it was illegal to posses or sell for that matter.:eek:
I understand as it grows like mad.
My chiclids and goldys love eating the stuff.
You know I'm not exactly sure thats what I have.
looks like duck weed but bigger and purple-red on the under side.
I take it I should not introduce in to my pond.

Like water hyacinths, which are also illegal to sell in some states, the salvinia probably won't overwinter in your climate. That's why selling is illegal in only the states in which it wil survive year round.

I've got plenty of plant-eating fish. Let me ponder it.
