Duckweed mania

[WhistlingBadger]

I might use it in a tank with a sponge filter, or something like that. In a tank with any water movement it's a pain in the backside, and with an HOB filter it's a nightmare. But even without the water movement, why use duckweed when there are so many nice floating plants available?

Tropica is a Danish plant grower, so their plants are probably not available in the US. Besides potted plants, they also sell tissue culture plants, referred to as in-vitro plants.

FYI Tropica plants are available at most of our local fish stores, if they are available on Vancouver Island they should be available in the continental US.

Yep I have seen tropica plants. I was actually considering making them my wholesaler.

for duckweed, there are many things I like to do
- crush and dry to feed to fish, or crush and feed wet to bamboo shrimp
- compost
- sell on etsy


I also have water lettuce that can is a competitor to duckweed, and it has longer roots aswell so it will suck more nutrients leaving less for the duckweed.
Personally I like it, it's just a little messy
