Joe Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hey guys, I have been browsing the website since it has been updated (and a huge thank you to those who updated it It is excellent :thup: ) and I was looking at the banned plants page http://www.fnzas.org.nz/?cat=92 and I want to know if those are the only banned plants in NZ or are there others? Also the local pet shop here sells Myriophyllum aquaticum. I take it that's illegal? Thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 There is a huge lot more that are banned but are not yet on the database. http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/files/pests/plants/nppa/nppa-accord-manual.pdf I have yet to get images for the others, so that why they are not yet on the database. M.aquaticum is indeed a banned plant, but there is a lot of types of Myriophyllum around so it may pay to check before you point the finger at them. :sage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far all I know of is M. aquaticum, M. elatinoides and M. propinquum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 what is the val that is legal? Use the database http://www.fnzas.org.nz/?p=962 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 The twisted Vals are allowed---I think the only ones around are V.torta and V. contortionist. The first is wider and shorter than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Use the database http://www.fnzas.org.nz/?p=962/quote:3snkkg3l easier to ask the question than troll through all the database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Echinodorus uraguayensis is legal and looks a lot like a giant Valisneria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Echinodorus uraguayensis is legal and looks a lot like a giant Valisneria. Yes a very nice looking plant. Trouble is finding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Cyperus helferi is a billion times better looking than val and E. uruguayensis and it is leagl and easy to come by Do you have a list of them because I really want to know what Myriophyllums we have in NZ because I want some in my tank when I get better lighting. So far all I know of is M. aquaticum, M. elatinoides and M. propinquum. Surely somebody knows something about what Myriophyllums we have in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Myriophyllum aquaticum is the only banned one I am aware of. The others are not easy to find though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Ok cool. The only ones that I'm interested in are M. elatinoides and M. propinquum. When I get better lighting then I can start searching for these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
