alanmin4304 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 A lot of plants are called oxygen weed. Elodea canadensis is permitted but lagarosiphon and Egeria densa (Elodea densa) are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maran Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Make sense. Did bit of googling and found there is some confusion in the names used and there are other plants which are called oxygen weed. But even the other ones so described banned, looks very much similar to the ones I see in New Zealand! Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Elodea canadensis is also called Canadian water pest and I think is that well spread throughout NZ that there would be no chance of getting rid of it. The others are generally got rid of when located. It is easy to tell the difference when you see them together. It wasn't that many years ago they were sold by all the pet shops along with many other nasties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
