Fast-Growing & Hardy: Duckweed is a tiny, oval-leaf plant (about 0.12") that multiplies quickly—often covering an aquarium’s surface within a week. It’s ideal for tanks with a high biological load, as it absorbs excess nutrients, improves water clarity, and helps suppress algae. Great for aquariums, ponds, and aquaponics systems. Easy to grow, highly adaptable, and a natural water cleaner for your aquatic setup.

Fish Love It: Koi, goldfish, and other fish species enjoy eating duckweed, while others benefit from the shade and cover it provides, helping them feel more secure.

High Protein Content: Duckweed contains up to 40% protein, making it a great natural food source for fish.

Low Maintenance Plant: Duckweed is incredibly easy to care for, requiring minimal attention. It's perfect for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.

Oxygenates Water: As a live plant, duckweed helps oxygenate the water, promoting a healthier environment for fish and other aquatic life.

Light Requirements: Duckweed thrives under moderate to high light but can survive in lower light conditions as well. Ensure it receives at least 8-12 hours of light per day for optimal growth.

Snail Disclaimer & Benefits: We cannot guarantee duckweed is snail-free. Unlike tissue-cultured plants, it’s grown in nutrient-rich community water for optimal health. Your order may contain ramshorn, mystery, trumpet, or pond snails. To avoid snails, rinse or quarantine before adding to your tank. However, snails help control algae, eat leftover food, aerate the substrate, and introduce beneficial nitrates, supporting plant growth and a healthy aquarium ecosystem.
