Duckweed?

[docturtle91b]

How do you feel about using duckweed in tanks? I personally love the stuff but I have heard from others that its a pest or annoyance. I figure its all a personal preference thing but would like to hear others points of view.

my feelings exactly. In the aquarium I prefer some of the larger floating plants because they have cooler root systems that hang down.

Duckweed makes great food for silver dollars.

It's miserable if you work with a HOB filter. Turtles love the stuff, though.

It's one of those plants that can take over everything. Once you have it you can really never get rid of the stuff.

Duckweed the plant that keeps on giving. Haha I wonder if they make a valtrex for it. One thing I've learned about it though is to check it thoroughly for fry before removing adding to the compost.
