Hello. I've just ran into some lemna trisulca aka ivy leaf duckweed. Is the care pretty much the same as regular duckweed? Would I be able to cultivate and sell it or is the interest not there? I've had it in my tank the last few days and it looks good.
 
Ahhh some good star duckweed!!! When left in the aquarium it's known to "ball up" as this photo shows...

Much less of nuisance than regular duckweed, I'd grow it and start offering it to other planted tank enthusiast!!!
 
That looks really nice. I have it in a net in my aquarium until I find a new home for my goldfish because he keeps trying to eat it through the net! I'll let my lfs have some to grow and see how people around here like it.
 
Hey! I’m really hoping to get a response here, hopefully I’m not shooting in the dark. I would really like to buy some star duckweed off somebody. If anyone located in the US can send, pls reply!! Thanks!
