Fish Folk Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 We clear out duckweed each week from tanks. It’s great stuff... just covers so tightly, bio film builds up. We have fed it to goldfish in times past. Had an idea to try it out on African Cichlids (mbunas). Anyone on the forum ever tried this? Short video...

Colu Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 As there diet are plant based I don't see why they wouldn't eat duck weed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Agreed. They nibble away at it. It’s not nearly as much a hit as for goldfish, but I’m thinking of pulling back a dry food feeding once each day til they eat it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputation is good. Is it basically a gelatin that solidifies when prepared? So just add duckweed when preparing along with the other ingredients (in the "soilent" line)?
