Mad Whip Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Is there any trick to getting rid of duckweed? Or should I just keep netting it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 silver dollars love it but then they might eat other plants in your tank too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Goldfish like it too but if you do not have any duckweed loving fish then netting is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Whip Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have now Danios, Rocket Pencils Betta and Corys. I will soon have polished net skills and more patients Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 i would say get a duck, but they don't really eat it much 8) netting is the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Increase water surface movement. It slows down the spread and makes it easier to get on top of. Also most rainbows will eat it, but not fast enough to eradicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaVitamins Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hahahah, i love ur title. Just had to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I love duckweed, it is green and provides surface cover for species that like that. (and it sucks nutrients out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 And the colour is perfect for book titles How is the eradication program going - there is always just one bit that you miss, and I am sure it multiplies when you turn your back :-?

douwe Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I find duckweed a good indicator for to much nutrients. But to get rid of it fast, netting is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
