It's really beatiful stuff, but according to my LFS unfortunately illegal to have in California. I was given some by someone out of state and showed a piece to my LFS because I couldn't remember the name of it, and he broke the bad news to me. The stuff grows like crazy, and I had to rip it all out and destroy it.  |

LOL, I can kinda see where that makes sense. But I still can't help but laugh about it. People so strict these days.

wow why is it illegal? I've heard certain fish and certain plants are illegal in some areas of the US but never understood why.

Well it's all about the environment. Say that plant he has in the tank get's thrown out carelessly near a pond or lake, and the plant start growing like crazy, taking over the water. That changes the whole system that has been going on. Different fish may react a certain way to the plant, taking over in numbers. IDK, I'm just blabbling on. But you get the point?
