Edible aquarium plants?

Water Lettuce is not edible. It's the plant that got me thinking since it's so big and fast growing. But then I find out you can't eat it...v.v

LOL... and I don't have it in my tanks either... :grinyes: Don't know why I included it on my list... :grinyes:

Seriously... I don't know where that came from!

Maybe there is a reason I've hardly posted anything in the last 6 months besides being overworked... my fingers are possessed and typing some crazy things! :eek3:
 
Dunno... I did notice when ordering my plants most said they were edible... which I found rather odd.

As I said, the only one I've tried eating is the hydrocotyle, it's a wild form Umbulata (or something like that) that I collected from the bank of a nearby lake.

Had a faint raddishy flavour to me. Not bad... but I'm not going to be harvesting itto eat even though it does grow like crazy in my "marsh pot" outside.

many people eat fish. they could have diseases, and some people do get sick, but how do you prevent lettuce and other greens from having bad bacteria? you wash your greens first, before you eat them.

people very very rarely directly catch fish diseases. The majority of people who get sick from eating fish either A) contract a parasite, or B) are victims of poorly handled and thus bacteria-ridden flesh. (I say rarely because in 20 years of keeping fish, I have never heard of a fish-borne illness that was transmitted directly to humans)
