anyone know where i can get some hornwort?

someone told me this eaisly growen and helps hide baby fish.

I think hornwort is a Class B noxious weed.

It appears that MAF has thrown out the old system of A, B, & C grade noxious plants. They are now either NATIONALLY BANNED or REGIONALLY BANNED.

Hornwort is a NATIONALLY BANNED PEST PLANT.

Further info on Pest Plants in NZ can be found on http://www.protectnz.co.nz/

We have it growing wild in our streams and rivers here.

In the floods it comes down in huge mats.

That's exactly why it has been labeled a PEST Plant - it is taking over NZ waterways.

It is illegal to collect or keep hornwort.

You can be fined up to $200,000 or get up to 7 years in prison for collecting any pest organism with the intent to move it to another location.

Hornwort is one of New Zealands major problem plants. Be a responsible hobbyist and don't touch it.

There are many other plants that grow just as well with a similar structure like Ambulia or Cabomba. As long as it's not too cold (below 18'C) it will be ok. Any pond plant you find at a plant shop will do as good a job for coldwater and there's a huge range of tropical plants available at pet shops and from other hobbyists too.

well i deffinately don't want this rubbish then.

Thanks for all the info.
