Broad Leaf Water Sprite - Ceratopteris cornuta

Hello Community!  I was cleaning the tank today and noticed that my
floating water sprite is getting a bit out of control.  For those of you
that donât know water sprite is a fast grower and great at soaking up
excess nutrients (i.e. ammonia, nitrates, nitrites).  This of course
stunts algae growth and promotes fish health.  It a great plant for
beginners as it is very hardy and easy to care for.

I currently keep it in a tank that fluctuates between 78-80 degrees. 
This tank does not use any co2 and has a low WPG (maybe 1.5-2).  I do
keep the lights on 10 hrs a day and the tank is stocked lightly with
some tetras.  In these conditions it grows like a weed!  Being a
floating plant it does best in a low to medium current tanks.  Although
I know this plant can also be planted, but I have not tried it as I
prefer the shade and sense of protection it provides as a floating
plant.

Currently I have about one cup of these plants.  I imagine there are
35-50 small plants in a cup.  These come from a snail free tank and are
not to be confused with regular water sprite or Ceratopteris
thalictroides.

Regardless, I wanted to offer the local community first dibs on it.  I
would like to sell this or trade it to someone.  I would like to get $10
for it.

Marshall
