A wee look at this lovely little floating aquarium plant.

Many thanks to Blake's Aquatics for the duckweed clips. Finally beat duckweed after years battling it then realised I needed a clip@
Blake came through for me right away. If you've not had a look at his channel you're definitely missing out:

i got some a few months ago, my goldfish and koi ate the roots and they are all gone from that pond. I received more of this plants a few weeks ago, and placed them in my Jack Dempsey Pond, They are doing so great. A great plant for shaing your pond. Nice brotha, have a blessed weekend

Only downside I've had with this plant (besides just growing SOOOO fast haha) is sometimes the roots will separate from the stem if one of the plants is damaged or dying and can float off and become unsightly debris/algae and snail food. But it's a small price to pay, it's a gorgeous and handy little plant.

I've got them as a freebie from another hobbyst but didn't use them on my aquarium thinking it might be like the awful duckweed. Your video certainly gave me some confidence in using them in an airline tube circle. Thanks for the good works Daniel as usual.

Never though of using the feeding ring in opposite like that a genius!!!!

This is why I am wearing your shirt tomorrow on the live stream with OFR!!!!

This is a beautiful plant....is it healthy at all for humans....perhaps when thinning it you could pop it in a salad or a smoothie?

Looks great mixed in with the other larger leaves.

Have a great day sir....wait you didn't do your later thing so Jack said to put it in here for you....later later later later later....

I've picked up a tank a dude was selling including the shrimp in it. A score tbh because I got 50+ white orchid shrimp and there was a few pieces of duckweed in there which was fine to me until it managed to cover the entire top. I plan on getting some salvinia natans and a few frogbits to replace and compete with it and to fill duck weeds function

[jenniedraws]

I had bought duckweed many years back and they all died ( due to following a video about dipping new plants in water with bleach.(never again)). After hearing the headache they caused I'm glad they all did.

[AQUAGUYUK]

You seem to do good with floating plants fella

[ultimatefishkeeping]
