And Gina Williams, our guest speaker, from Department of Conservation. She is the Weedbusters Co-ordinator, and is involved in Weed surveillance and biosecurity. She had some interesting resources for us. Included was a published study on which native plants are suitable for use in aquariums, and Gina had some samples of dried plants with her.

As I suspected, the plant that I didn't know the name for in my work aquarium is on the list of pest plants. This means that while I can still have some, I can't give it away to anyone else. I've got plenty of other plants in there so its gone now, and Gina is going to check it to confirm that it is one of the pest plants. She is also going to find me a sample of the prettiest of the native ones to try in one of my tanks at home.

Nice to meet Smidey, and I managed to learn some stuff from him too - thanks!!

Sam
