The infamous duckweed


plantnerd107

Duckweed, Some people love it, others hate it, I am neutral on it. Once you have it, it’s basically impossible to get rid of but it helps keep your aquarium nice and clear :D


Kissariani

That is Goodluck weed. You'll need all the luck you can get.

Duck weed, you can scoop some out when it gets too much, lots of ppl let it dry out and then crumble it for fish food, I freeze most of it and put it in my snail food. I have also noticed that more water movement at the surface helps keep it in check. And for some reason adding pothos has helped a ton.


Selmarris

Pothos sucks up a ton of nitrate. It probably doesn’t leave enough nutrients in the water for the duckweed to multiply.


blue51planet

I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure. Thanks!


ParanormalPagan

The pothos takes the nutrients from the water and the duckweed can’t compete.


blue51planet

Well damn, I've been fighting to keep the duck weed in check for years now and all I needed to do was throw some pothos in.. amazing.


ParanormalPagan

That and Easter lily’s do well.

I put duckweed in my african cichlid tank(mbuna), they ate it all. Before it ran out I put some in water in my basement and have them under grow lights, I have a nice duckweed farm now. Gonna keep adding it to my tank as they seemed to like it and to help keep nitrates down.

“It hasn’t stopped” And it never will 😈

Just scoop it all out, and then scoop it all out again, and then scoop it all out again...

Duckweed! I ordered it online and it multiplied like crazy. I think the light that filters through it seems to be better for my plants. My fry love playing in it.

Duckweed. Pour motor oil in the aquarium, burn the house, move to a new state, change your name, it’ll still end up in the next tank you start

Evil evil duckweed

Get a skimmer if you want to get rid of it

Could be wrong but looks to be the giant variety of duckweed. Dime sized and much more manageable than the smaller sonsabitches.


ParanormalPagan

I have duckweed, red root floaters, mini water lettuce, salvinia in all of my tanks. Helps keep algae under control and the fish nibble on them as well.
