I’m in a couple of aquarium groups and when I was a beginner I was always so worried about getting duckweed in my aquarium because everyone hated it so much and said it was impossible to get rid of. Well of course I eventually got some duckweed in my aquarium and it did spread really quickly. But what I realized is my fish loved it and my water parameters were doing great and I had a lot less algae with it so I left it. Sooner or later my entire surface was covered in duckweed so I scooped out half of it and just kept up with scooping out the excess and tossing it. I honestly didn’t mind having it. At one point I wanted to try just having frogbit so I got it all the duckweed out. I was able to use my fish net to scoop out the majority of it, then I just went in with some of my aquarium tweezers and picked out the few remaining and I was able to get it all out no problem. But my aquarium is a 15 gallon Fluval flex so there’s not a ton of surface area so it was pretty easy to get it all out. Unfortunately the frogbit didn’t last and when it all died I just got some more duckweed from my local fish store for free and just added it back in 😂 Honestly duckweed doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. About the most annoying thing about it is how it sticks to your hands and arm when doing maintenance and how fast it grows but it’s not a big deal to me. Just scoop out 3/4 of the duckweed once it’s filled the surface area and you’re good for a while before it grows all back again.

I found a good tip for water wisteria: if you buy it in a tube with gel, chances are it was grown emerged. When you put it in the aquarium almost the whole stem will rot, but save anything green!! I really thought I lost all my water wisteria but I left the green nubs in my tank and now I have a bunch of tall and happy wisteria stems a few months later. I never give up on any plant stem that isn’t rotten. I can’t say my hygrophilia repens is coming back but you never know....

It looks pretty much like your frog bit is Amazon frog bit. I bought some BUT was sold European frog bit. Much smaller and very fragile. However, I made a ring of plastic tubing to control it, put a suction cup on it to hold it in place. The reason I write this is ... when you do a water change RELEASE THE SUCTION CUP OR ALL THE FROG BIT WILL TRAVEL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE WATER. You will have to start again collecting it ... Thought this may be a usefull tip?

Im 26 years old and have been keeping fish almost 18 years ranging from guppies to bettas all the way up to parachromis and even a bullhead catfish that I found in my backyard and nursed back to health before releasing back into its NATURAL HABITAT (I come from an area where bullhead catfish are native species and breed all year round in southern Canada). I somehow found a bullhead catfish washed up barely living in a ditch in my backyard when I was 16 and got a kiddie pool to nurse it back to health with the money I had at the time. After all that I am just now getting back into smaller fish tanks for planted guppy + centerpiece fish tanks. I am hoping to get some water wysteria and a baby java fern and some valisneria from my brother to start until the stores get more beginner friendly plants back in.

Which floating plant is best for a fluval flex tank where the light on the hood is really close to the water. Its led lights so they dont emit much heat at all and there is a feeding port that remains open for heat and humidity to escape. Im new to the hobby and have red eye tetras, panda corys and a BN pleco. I have real driftwood for the BN but i think i need more cover for the tetras because their eyes are supposed to be very light sensitive. The flow rate is pretty high so i dont think red root floaters would work. I plan in keeping whatever i get in a feeding ring in the other side of the tank from the output water nozzle so they dont get as much watet flow, but i need the high flow pointed upwards a bit for oxygenation because i dont want an airstone. Any advice will help since im new

I must be the old person in the world that can't grow duckweed. I tried it in my pond, aquariums and fish breeding tubs. It starts off well, then slowly gets less and less until there is none left. I tried it in shade, full sun, partial shade etc. My fish must eat it all. I only have guppies, platty and gourami so can't understand why this happens.

Keep in mind that if water surface is totally covered by floaters…then there will be less water surface agitation (from your HOB filter and airstone) and therefore less oxygenation. Be diligent and scoop out overgrowth. Good rule of thumb is to have 2/3 of water surface plant free.
