I got mine from Herdsman Lake near the board walk, it was also full of daphnia and three baby goldfish hatched out of it (still have one).

If it is and it is declared I will have to inform the garden centre.

I don't think duck weed or azolla is declared in Western Australia, maybe in some other states though.. A bit like Tilapia...
