Any plant nursery that does ponds or water plants probably has some.. Worth asking..

One I went to nearby had it all through the styrofoam boxes they had their water lillies and stuff like that in, and their pond was full of that azolla.. I asked them for some duckweed and the guy started to scoop some azolla up into a bag but when I pointed it out he said "that's what we usually give to anyone that asks for duckweed, 99% of people don't know the difference"..

I'll give you some duckweed for free if you want it.
But it wont last long in a tank with SP

I have actually had someone else tell me they could not sell it... Was very interested to know how they had three tanks full of it!

If you come into the shop and use the right handshake you can probably take some home if you bring a bag while no one is watching.... nudge, nudge, wink, wink.... :wink:
