I tryd to establish duckweed a couple different times in several of my tanks but between the filters n fish it don't last long.although I've heard it grows like crazy.water lettuce bout like duckweed just way bigger.it seems to be doing better than the duckweed for me. I recently bought a couple bleeding hearts.I like the looks of lily pads floating on top.

its nice with some floating plants, i will try water lettuce and see if it will grow a bit better.
I think the fish gets a bit calmer as well.
 
I agree bout the calmer fish! You might like water lettuce better with your overflow as they are bigger bout 2-3" across n roots hang down couple inches too. Bunch of em looks sweet I think. Duckweed n water lettuce would be awesome! My Lfs gives me both it overgrows his tanks.he throws em the yard! I like damn throw that stuff my way!lol. I tryd hyacinth in p-bass tank but plecos ate it up.I have the best luck with swords. My rbp's have the bottom of their tank just covered in eggs! All three pairs must of spawned last night. I watched 2 of the pairs spawning for a good 2hours last night. When yours get about 6"-7" I fill you in on how to sex them.

Sound like you need allot of fry tanks now :D
Don't forget to upload some videos on the tube!!

I really hope on a few pairs it would be great to see some spawning and try to get them frys up to nice size.
 
Oh I already have 6-7 dry tanks up n running already. Luckily I sold 100 babies over the weekend so I have a empty one ready n waiting! Friends posted the videos on you-tube for me a month or so ago I don't have computer so I doubt any new ones will make it up. Although I have tons of em!lol.
 
I suk the freshly hatched fry out into 2.5gal tanks when the yoke saks are used up n their ready to eat baby brine I transfer them to a 10gal after one week in ten gallon I transfer them yet again into multiple 15gal longs after 2weeks I transfer them to a 55gal or 33gal long (both same ft print) a couple weeks in 4' tanks n their ready for market.I bet I suk at least 1500 wigglers out(low # guess!!!)per spawning pair.I have 3 pairs. Actual # of wigglers is probably 2000+ per pair. Impossible to count them!lol. Its pretty insane around here at feeding time! When they start free swimming n eating its a swarm of them!I take net fulls out to feed other fish n to thin them out.I'm finding more places to buy them almost daily so I've been saving more to selling size.
