How to Plant Pearl Weed in Aquarium

1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.
3. Because the roots are weak, we recommend planting pearl weed in the pot, such that the pot is entirely buried in the ground. Then it can creep laterally and grow upwards once it is done converting to its underwater growth form.
4. If you choose to individually plant the stems, consider planting them in bunches with some space in between so that the stems can get plenty of light and the roots have some room to grow. If the bunch keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the bunch at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the stem to keep them anchored. 

How to Grow Pearl Weed

— Pearl weed care is very easy, so start by using medium lighting between 20-35 PAR to prevent "leggy" stems (where the bottom portion of the plant starts dropping leaves). 
— Why is my pearl weed turning yellow or brown? If your stem plant is getting enough light, it may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. 
— How to trim pearl weed: If the plant is too tall or the bottom half of the stem has lost its leaves, prune off the top portion and replant it.

How to Propagate Pearl Weed

— Stem plants can be easily propagated by trimming off the top half of the plant and replanting it in another location. The original plant will continue growing upwards from where it was cut and may even create multiple branches.
— To create a pearl weed carpet, plant small bunches of the trimmings with a 1-inch gap between each bunch. Make sure the plants are undisturbed by bottom dwellers until they grow firm roots. Keep the tops of the plants frequently pruned so that the lower leaves get enough light. With enough light and nutrients, you will have enough plant trimmings to cover the whole ground.

Gus the goose Buster's new bff
My pitbull terrier loves his goose and has not tore this up but he had not tried either. He's funny with soft toys but loves A good tug of war or actual chew toy.

Fun Goose Dog Toy
I have a small dog with about 20 plush toys to play with. Added to her inventory now is the ILC Buy Interactive Goose Toy for Small Breeds. It took me a while to figure out where the toy "squeaks", and it makes the noise when the white banded neck around the goose is squeezed. My dog took an immediate liking to the toy and loves to carry it around the house, shaking her head back and forth with the goose in her mouth. It appears to be made primarily of burlap (see pictures) and is about 12-13" in length. Fortunately, my dog doesn't destroy toys, as some (probably larger) dogs do, so it appears to be pretty sturdy and well-made. After a week of playing with it regularly, the toy still looks brand new. I like the coloring and the size of the goose, and this is a nice addition to my dog's playtime routine. It is also priced appropriately for a dog toy of its size and quality. Recommended. Made in China.

Durable toy with a single squeaker
This goose seems to be made of fairly durable fabric. It's not flimsy. I had a hard time finding the squeaker in it at first, but then I realized the squeaker is located in the white neck! My medium border collie grabbed it first. Then my pitbull figured out where the squeaker was and ran around squeaking it for a while, which is her favorite thing to do. So this toy did get some interest from the pitbull especially. She isn't one to chew things up but really enjoys toys that make noise. Since the squeaker is in the skinny neck portion, it made it easy for her to grab hold of it and squeak it over and over again. I am giving this 4 stars only because in the whole long body of this toy, the neck has the only squeaker. I think it would have been better and more stimulating for my dogs if it had multiple squeakers or even some crinkles in the rest of the body...at least some crinkles in the flat feet of the duck. The sole attraction is that one squeaker in the neck. So it could be better, but I do like that it isn't super plush and full of stuffing that would be torn up in 5 minutes like most toys. My pitbull actually took this to another room away from her three sisters, so that means she really wanted to play with this by herself. That's a good sign.

Duck-time is play-time! Exactly what a dog toy should be!
Duck hunting for your living-room princess-pal best buddy goodest puppy in the world! Every dog deserves a chance to be a heroic duck hunting hero! This dog toy is a favorite of my pup. Duck-time is play time! This duck is made with several fabulous textures. There's a ropey texture around the neck, a burlap type texture for the body and head, and a felt-like texture for the bill and feet. My dog immediately tore the feet off! He always removes any hanging bits from all toys, so that's not a comment to the detriment of this product. He's working on the wings, now. My dog likes to chase this toy when I throw it or play tug-of-war with it, or is willing to sit and chomp on it by himself for a while. The rope is intact, still! This is exactly what a dog toy should be! Give your little buddy a hunting trophy!

Speaker broken
This toy is advertised as having a squeaker, but the one we had was defective and did not make any noise. Our dog still throughly enjoyed ripping this little duck to shreds through. The material was thicker than I was expecting but still only took our dog about 5 mins to completely destroy it (Golden retriever). I understand that this toy is marketed as for small dogs so I get that, but took away three starts because our came with the broken squeaker and for $10, you can find a lot better toys at TJ Max. This item is not a good value for our experience.
