Live plant cuttings are weeks or months faster than seed from local aquarium society or pet store but can bring unwanted bacteria/snails so seeds safer for sterile situations. Not my house.

I have a coldwater pond-koi tank beside the one I'm fresh cycling with leaves... And cats so I've deciding mixing life is inevitable and just keep everything as healthy and diverse as I can ; ) It's like the gut flora and fauna in our own bodies...
