Whitecloud09 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 So I added water sprite a few weeks back. And this plant showed up. The water sprite was from ACO but it was in my 20g before. Is this water sprite plantlets? Duckweed? Thanks More and more shows up every day… 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Cory Posted September 8 Administrators Share Posted September 8 It's duckweed. I kinda had the same thing happen. No duckweed anywhere in the fish room for months. I now have like 20 pieces in 1 tank... I'm convinced it was dried up under a rim of the tank and a fish splashed it and now it's back in that tank.

MWilk Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 It’s duckweed. I find duckweed reduces the light just right for my tanks, but I have to scrape it all off of my arms every time I have to get into the tank. I still haven’t decided whether or not to remove it all or leave it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woowala Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 It is an excellent nitrate sink. Also excellent at being extremely irritating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepere Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 For the life of me, I can not understand anybody buying duckweed… Just wait. It shows up on its own soon enough… FREE! I have eradicated it from tanks at least 5-6 times now…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
