duckweed for an aquarium -How to grow duckweed in an aquarium
Float several duckweed plants on the surface of an aquarium that contains fish or water that has had fish in it. You can leave aeration systems in place.Place a cover with lights (any type of light will work) on top of the aquarium.
Feed your fish as normal. In 3 to 7 days the duckweed will begin to cover the surface of the water. Because duckweed is such a fast-growing plant it often is considered a pest because it can completely take over an aquarium in as little as a week if given good care. It has no specific care requirements, and just needs basic care such as some light and proper nutrients present. Duckweed has oval leaves that are light green in color and about 0.12 inches or 3 millimeters long.
Duckweed is often chosen as a good ornamental plant for the surface of an aquarium, especially if kept with other floating plants. Thinning it regularly is recommended so that it does not completely take over the aquarium. Giant Vallisneria do well in a mixture of fine sand with a medium light level. Duckweed is a stemless aquatic plant that floats on the surface of water. Duckweed likes water high in nitrogen and phosphate and is ideal in cleaning water that is overloaded with fish and algae.
