No, its just infested with bladderwort in my tank that I thought was bladderwort free.

Thus the vigil begins.

Never seen bladderwort before, but I hear it's fun.

No that's ok, I had to google it to remember exactly what it was and as soon as I saw the little white bladder it came to me. How exactly did you gey it in the tank, a hitchhiker from auction plants or some plant from the wild?

Someone gave me duckweed in an auction plant, so I picked it all out with my nice tweezers (20 minutes) the next day about 5 pieces, a week later one piece, 2 weeks later 1 piece, so I have the feeling if I don't stay always vigilant it will reinfest my tank.
Sincerely,
Tim
