I need some advice. I have a planted 200 litre tank. When I was setting up the tank I had brought some grass seeds of Amazon. Now the seeds are slowly getting out of control. Iā€™m just wondering if they reseed? The grass is a nuisance since itā€™s none stop lifting up and getting tangled up with the plants and blocking the filter holes. Itā€™s called a small double leaf on Amazon. Is there anyway to get rid of it? Or does it mean I have to start over.

They won't have produced any seed at that size/ age, and they will need to grow out of the water to produce flowers and seed.

The packet says 7500 pcs (seeds), so you have a lot of seeds in there. :)

About the only way to remove them would be to gravel clean the substrate and hope you can suck them up.

Thank you so much. I was starting to wonder that I may have gone and made a big mistake. I have been pulling it up. We have been working on the tank most of the day. I have got rid of most of it that I can see. It does look a lot better I say.
We will keep on top of it.

The plant looks like duck weed? But could be some kind of hemianthus? Like Cuba?

Iā€™m very torn on the whole seeds things as it shouldnā€™t work but I have seen some people succeed. There are a lot of seeds sold that will never succeed as they are not suitable for underwater life. But 100% there are some people that have succeeded but i donā€™t know where they have come from.
