Gander, Am I correct in that you live in OK.
If so, do you ever get cold enough that it kills off the Azolla... ie. your picture P1010005aaa.jpg.
It just showed up here two years ago. I think a bird must have left it as a gift since I thoroughly clean evrything before planting. I too thought it was cool looking until it began devouring pond surfaces like the "Blob" from the old movie. My only recourse is to continually wash it all out. I had finally rid myself of it by March of this year. Suddenly about a month ago, it returned like a horrid sequel. The frogs, birds and dragonflies are only too happy to help propagate this monster. Up north it dies and they have to pay by the cupful to get more yet I had a really tough time killing it.

Tim this is the first year I have had it. I am not sure if it winters over or not but I think it stays. It is in a kiddie pool I fed it by handfuls to the koi this summer. I had one pool that it all disapeared in I dont know what killed it out.

Tim, mine comes back every year here, all by itself.

Mine started out in a propagation pool and susequently jumped into 6 others before I eradicated it early this year. So far it is in buckets and containers that are at least 10' from any pools. Since it is a microorganism it can live without even being large enough to see the floating part. I have seen it come back when there was nothing visibly left. It will cover the surface quickly and smother out lilies light nourishment if given any chance at all.

My goldfish must eat it. I get start after start of it and it's gone. It's the same with duckweed. I can't keep any of it.

Kay goldies and koi love both...its like a salad buffet to them  I always tell people to keep some growing in a container and throw a handlefull of it to the fish once a week
