Hello! I'm hoping to create an aquarium using only native aquatic plants. Is there a list of these plants and perhaps where to find them? I know there are a lot of marsh plants, but I'm looking for fully aquatic. Thanks!
Well, there's this older reference: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/e...erence-documents/wq_ref_aquatic_plants_bc.pdf (but also includes non-natives) This 1994 document starts with a list, but again, you'd have to do the work to determine native vs non-native: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/e...fication_reys_to_the_aquatic_plants_of_bc.pdf
Hey, I’ve been exploring this idea as well. Best I’ve found were those two resources in the 2nd post. Otherwise, looking up “native aquascapes” “North America native aquascape” etc. on Youtube can provide a bit of info. Here are some other resources. Different watershed for the Alberta one but I’m sure there are similar plants and it notes whether they are invasive or not. https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.n...lant-Book-1st-Edition-Nov-2016.pdf?1487109804 Aquatic Plants of Canada Lakes
