I have a tiny bit of duckweed. Everyone hates this stuff and say it completely takes over their tanks but I find it absolutely beautiful and can’t wait for my duckweed to grow over my tanks for a more naturalistic look 😍

Does duckweed improve your water quality?

@@JuvzBolivar Well any aquatic plant makes water quality better and especially because it adds oxegyn in the water

My duckweed looks and grows great with zero aeration but the water doesn't get too warm. The cooler the water the more oxygen it can hold.

Good tip on the bubbles thing! I didn’t know how to tell if a tank was getting enough oxygen.

@jakethesnakelover3 жыл бұрын
@Jayden Recktenwalt I actually have the duckweed in my 10g tank. And because I don’t have an airstone there I don’t let the duckweed cover more than 2/3 of the surface so that there can be oxygen exchange still. But I have a lot of fish in each tank that’s why I watch it carefully. Also, I thought duckweed gave oxygen because I assumed all plants consume CO2 and exhale O2

I found that air killed my duckweed. I move aquaponics water through the tank, but no air added.

Depends on the tea i guess. Probably won't hurt the fish. Unless you dump a whole can into it.

why do you let always water in the bottle? Duckweed does not need o2 i did not understand that :/
@Helveteshit7 жыл бұрын
By introducing air into the water, he also introduces CO2 and other gases. You need Oxygen for the bacteria that break down nutrients into usable Nitrite/Nitrate which helps duckweed grow. If you don't do this, it will choke the water surface which essentially means the bacteria below will die off and the Duckweed follows before the cycle repeats. Which is not ideal if your aim is to harvest the duckweed. You want a healthy plant that can be processed into food for other fish or shrimp. Edit; If you ever seen Mass Death of fish stories where a large quantity of fish die for no particular reason. That is due the oxygen in the water vanishing. The bacteria is the culprit for all the oxygen vanishing since they use large amounts to decompose organic matter.
