It can be beneficial but it can also be painful. Thanks for the video bro

[@NoCO2fishtank]

Agreed, Nick! Thank you for introducing us to Adrian! I've learned SOOOO much from you both!

[@jessicawalden]

Yes it is.. never had it but get I could grow it😢 unlike the good plants ❤

We love you Adrian!!!! 🌱

I use a comb to remove duck weed from my tanks. I saw MD Fish Tanks use one years ago and I've done the same ever since.

[@AnissaLea]

Been using a comb for years as well. Best way to remove duck weed

[@Bonnie10au]

I watched the same video and used a comb then. Best method ever. I managed to get rid of the duckweed in 5 of my 6 tanks.

[@sparrowsfish]

Same

[@rldickie]

Yep.

[@DavidYogiFolies]

I use a skimmer spoon, the one from Asia, not with holes but a spiral like string as a bottom. The smallest babies pass through , and you can easily see the bigger ones. With a bit a patience, and perseverance, you can eliminate duckweed in a few days... (especially if you use a pomp/filter with a skimmer when there is just a few duckweed left) I give most of them to my goldfishes, the rest goes into my garden as fertiliser... happy fish keeping

[@richiesfishroom5032]

Awesome video once again bro 💪

[@larsbremen7176]

If you have most of the duckweed out. Get a small plastic cup and a Bucket and if you find small pieces in a tank scoop it up, if you use a cup you can suck the duckweek into it. Do it a couple of weeks and keep checking it after 3 months it is gone. Good luck and great video 🇳🇱

[@vanesarobinson1389]

Oh my goodness! Congratulations on the flower! That's special!💚🪷💚

[@iamdustinbelt]

Fighting the good fight! Keep it up! And that lotus flower was gorgeous I have 3 in my 5g tank for my Betta, I hope I will be lucky enough to experience them flower as well

[@its_elser]

the bowfront is looking great, its my favorite tank of yours.

[@AlDeByle]

Great video, good to see you showing some of the less fun side of fish keeping. It took me months to get rid of my duck weed, you have to check the tanks everyday and keep pulling it out. Keep up the good work, because duck weed or not your tanks look good. Looking forward to more of your adventures.

[@hippiecolleen1352]

Yey! New vid... just what I needed to cheer up! I love your vids! Thanks for all the efforts to make them❤😊

[@poopmen100]

Hi Adrian, MTS sufferer from Chicago land area. I’ve heard you talk about keeping tanks at different parameters. I would love to hear you talk about your water parameters, how you adjust things such as ph or the hardness safely, etc Thanks Zach

[@Lawrence-St.Lawrence1701]

I subscribed to your great channel 3 to 4 months ago and I am greatly enjoying it. Your videos are quite inspiring for me. I know the frustration of trying to catch guppies and guppy fry from a duckweed covered tank. They are so curious and fearless and get right in the way, of course, when trying to remove the duckweed. Definitely going to try your removal method. Glad to see Ziggy and Brutus are doing much better. Cheers!

[@markfranklin8831]

Great video. Ive got a pink kisser and it just vaccumes up the duck weed. Thanks for sharing

[@nixequestrian3721]

10/10 title. Thanks for directing us to the merch- I love & want it, when I recover from the latest vet bills, I'll be sure to let Nick know you sent me. Oh wow- The tiger lotus flower looks lovely. Well done getting it to flower! Love the video- thanks for making it!

[@toddbigeasy]

Congratulations on the flower🎉🎉🎉

[@maryglover8283]

Brutus is the best boy, always agreeable😃. You have so much work to do without the duckweed!! As always i enjoyed watching. Thank you!

[@morap4093]

nice surprise didn t expected so soon another video you made my day good even better you give so much positive fibes even across video surprise i love and sometimes hate duckweed but some of my fish love to eat it and helps whit absorbe nutrience sometimes it helps if you are to late whit maintance and my goldfish outside also love duckweed 😊😂🙏👍

[@shelbycombs4320]

Thank you for taking us along. Love seeing the updates of everything too. Always inspiring. I’ve got almost too many ideas running around in my head 😂 need to start making them a reality!

[@rosie2155]

Great video, as always! Thank you!

[@cesardias7579]

Duckweed... I have the same problem. Much less aquariums, but its on them all! After some time fighting against i just gave up! Its one of those things... "if you cant defeat them, just join them" :) Its now part of my maintenance routine... catch as much as i can on weekends and feed my gold fishes with it! Im trying to see only the good thing of this! Its a way to remove a nice amount of nutrients from those aquariums and good quality food for free! Otherwise we get nightmares every night :) To remove it, i just use my bare hands, using my fingers on a "comb" shape and catch as much as i can. This way i can feel if some fish or shrimp is about to be catch! Cesar

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

Ya know I like that you show everyone that you don't need an actual aquarium to enjoy the hobby. I believe I seen a styrofoam bin that is used for shipping.

[@beerprem]

I have a pond full of goldfish out side. When the duckweed gets out of control i net it out and feed the goldfish. I struggle to make enough to keep them happy lol.

[@lemon3574]

I used to be fish mad like you!! I miss it now! haha

[@NoCO2fishtank]

Thank you so much for all the info M8! Your place is AMAZING!!!

[@jayesssveevearing4282]

I've got my duckweed shirt on too from KFS ..twinning

[@mattgibbs6393]

I use it to feed my African cichlids and as mulch for potted plants

[@Vera-k5o]

Hey Adrian, Video suggestion - Would you consider covering your favourite equipment pieces for fishkeeping, specifically what lighting you use most commonly accross your tanks and whats best for plant growth etc? Love the vids, glad i found your channel :)

[@Vera-k5o]

I'm based in Australia and want to expand my own room & hoping to find out what's the most cost effective ways to do so

[@rossturner3650]

If you get a dehydrator you can dry it, then grind it into a powder that you can feed to shrimp and fry

[@jodip719]

I love duckweed for it's water cleaning capabilities, but I hate how it fucktuples in quantity overnight. However, my chickens love to eat it. It's a great calcium source for egg layers.

[@ianferguson4728]

The boss brings that crap from the farm every time he brings plants and shrimps to the shop. It's like farting against thunder trying to eradicate it.

[@andreamason1055]

Great video, I’m going against the grain here but I quite like duckweed 🫣 hair algae however is the Bain of my life! That flower was beautiful, well done. Can I ask with the pothos in your tanks do you just chop it and put it in or do you have to do anything special? Your tanks are looking amazing all the fish look great 😊

[@thelair9392]

Such a nightmare. However my Abramites headstanders love it as a snack

[@morap4093]

beutifull flouwer gives something magical love nature it a gift saying your doing good nature thanks you whit the flower showing that they are happy fish and plants 👌😇😂🐣🐾🦜

[@jeffkane4391]

😆 🤣 love the title sir😁

[@trevorharrison4841]

What type of platy are those blue and red ones Adrian? They're very nice

[@CNR_ADMS]

I scoop duckweed out of my tank daily, it's unbelievable how fast it multiplies.

[@CNR_ADMS]

Also nice flower, I'd have been chuffed with the same result. Those subtle colours in the petals are stunning!

[@windyrotorblast]

I use a shop-vac. It is a small two gallon capacity vacuum that you can hand carry to the tank. You can lay the wand almost flat above the water and suck up just the duck weed and very little water. The vacuum will shut off when the tank is full. At first I was a little paranoid about sucking up my nano fish but I have found that they avoid the little inverse waterspout that the vac produces. The cool part is that you can control how much you leave in the tank. I do about a 50/50 split. Half the tank is open to light and the other half is shaded with *&%$ weed.

[@trevorbergstrom00]

I use a shop vacuum to remove duckweed off the surface of my tanks it gets it all off a ten gallon tank in LITERALLY 30 seconds at most. I use the hardwood floor attachment with bristles so the sucking end doesn't get pulled underwater as hard as it would with no attachment. You have to hold the shop vac tight and hover over the surface just close enough to annihilate the duckweed

[@ehaaron]

💯

[@yashtapase3821]

Loved the video sir

[@kerrypitt9789]

I skim the duck weed off the top and throw it in the blender with one whole egg, fresh young nettle and a tablespoon of organic Spirulina. I blend it until it is a smooth paste. I put it on parchment paper using a spatula to make it as thin as possible then into the oven to dry for several hours. The. Shrimp and catfish love the chips! A warning though, the duckweed is not overly pleasant when it is.

[@darrylmoore5847]

I loved this

[@morap4093]

platy also love duckweed

[@judyallinson1281]

❤

[@Bespoke_Bettas]

I hate how other native plants are banned in Australia, but duckweed is perfectly fine... duckweed overpopulates way more than any other banned aquatic plant

[@brantonlightcap]

I love duck weed. 🤗

[@Aiken47]

Its definitely a pain, I use it as nutrient extraction

[@Outside-InAquatics]

I def clicked for the vulgarity I love it💪

[@debraradford9853]

get it on the indoor tanks but find i can net it out mostly - but if you live in the uk it dies off in the cold - one bonus of living here

[@davidsmith9189]

Empire carp gudgeons. Duckweed is a great resource to feed fish, poultry etc.

[@AussieAquatic]

You can live with Duckweed ..........until one day........you break!!

[@judyallinson1281]

Goldfish eats it had it in my tank gone ❤

[@MichaelDHolt]

My barbs love duckweed. They are medium sized species.

[@ngothienterrarium]

❤❤❤

[@its_elser]

i got tweezers and pulled every last bit out of my tanks. spent hrs but i would the war

[@weirdscience6820]

It's great when you need it but not fun to remove or when it sticks to you. I have enough to the point some are dying because of lack of nutrients yet I still did NOT want to throw out the healthy duckweed that was used in another, medicated tank.

[@TheZodiac-p2n]

31:51 do you worry when your fish flash such as the denison barb in this tank?

[@TB21660]

Frogbits deserve a cuss word too!

[@yashtapase3821]

I have lily that flowers voilet and yellow ❤

[@yashtapase3821]

4:32 which java fern is that ? I really want that its so compact 😮❤😂

[@blackzeus4869]

Show me them lil birds back there my guy

[@toddbigeasy]

Did you have it back when Nic did your tour videos? I don’t remember hearing about it.

[@kazBrown4350]

Well I certainly did NOT buy it voluntary!! So to whoever gave me it I'd like to say I hope your next 💩 is a hedgehog!!!

[@dianemiller2185]

I could never keep duckweed when I had tanks. I tried. I think it has to do with surface disturbance, it can't live if there's more water movement.

[@mr.navorski7501]

Duckweed is a curse!

[@toddbigeasy]

Will goldfish eat shrimp or even my other floaters like salvinia?

[@Nomics415]

I have 2 hang on the back filter on 40 gallon breeder and cannot grow duckweed the flow kills it

[@1963patto]

How does your electricity bill go My friend

[@matts-7566]

will the duckweed survive in a sewage?

[@tomlittlewood4522]

I see people trying to sell it on eBay!!!?!? Wtf!!??!

[@girrig97]

atleast azzola is native

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

I got some frog bit from a store and didn't realize it had dick weed I mean duck weed (lol) mixed in but I spent about 2 weeks picking it out piece by piece..

[@mattgibbs6393]

F#ckweed

[@Firebird894]

Want me to do a video on how to get rid of duckweed 100% ? I have a simple method takes a bit of time but you can get it all if you do it a few times. You only need a small cup like a medicine cup pr measuring cup and a bucket. There is a technique to it.

[@davethediver4869]

Love your videos, but the amount of adverts is seriously annoying, gave up watching eventually

[@christinepetersen2513]

Duckweed sucks 🤮🤮
