Duckweed

Duckweed might be one of the most controversial plants in the aquarium hobby. You either LOVE it or hate it haha

But there's a reason people keep it! Duckweed is an extremely fast-growing floating plant that can help use up excess nutrients, provide shade, and create extra surface area for shrimp and other aquarium inhabitants to explore and graze on.

And when we say fast growing, we mean FAST. If it's happy in your tank, you'll probably have more duckweed than you know what to do with before too long. Regular removal is usually all it takes to keep it under control.

You will receive one portion of Duckweed, approximately the size of a ping pong ball. One portion is a great starting amount for around a 10 gallon aquarium.
