Cheers from my fish room in Chicago! The Australian Azola (sp?) is pretty cool looking in its own right!

[@duthieaquatics]

Yes

Lentilha d água atrapalha o manejo com guppys.

[@duthieaquatics]

Yes it does especially feeding time

[@kernow24]

use some airline and a connector to make a ring for gaps in the duckweed

Great video! Your plant look great 👍 any tips on keeping hornwart alive in a tank and guppy grass 🙈 the only things I can seem to grow are crypts which I have popping up all over my tank 😊

[@duthieaquatics]

Hornwart like a decent amount of light and let it float.

[@andreamason1055]

Thank you, I will give it a go again! Keep your videos coming 👍

[@JhunDumsTVXj]

wow love it

[@duthieaquatics]

Thank you

[@petejeau]

Thanks for the vid. I have duckweed pretty much covering 6 of my tanks, all from a tiny bit that was on some plants i bought from you a while ago lol. A good addition though. Incidentally I need to grab a few more plants from you soon if you have some available

[@duthieaquatics]

I do they are on the website I’ve fallen behind on my potting so some things will be out of stock until next week

[@themermaidslairaquatics]

My giant duckweed / salvinia minima has taken over my large bichir tank but my new mystery snails seem to be munching on them a bit. Love the floaters but do find them overtaking the tank often.

[@duthieaquatics]

I have a compost bin full of floats every couple of months they grow so fast

[@themermaidslairaquatics]

@@duthieaquatics Right! I used to take mine into my old job but I dont work there anymore and just throw it out when theres too much at this point. I may need to do the compost bin thing too!!!

[@stephenchow5161]

nay

[@martincamenzuli5572]

Yay. I have it in all my tanks. Great water cleaner. I use a fine tooth comb to scoop it out when it gets to saturated. Nitrates are always very low under 20ppm with 30% wc’s every 5 weeks or so to freshen up the column

[@duthieaquatics]

That’s great you’re definitely using it right and I might need to steal the comb idea off you haha
