Hi I create a lot of water spangles and duckweed in one of my tanks. You can have it if you want free floating plants. Just message me.

I've been experimenting with different floaters: frogbit, duckweed, and red root (Phyllanthus fluitans). I'm discovering the slowest growing is red root and I'm thinking of trying now to get rid of the frogbit and duckweed because they both seem to grow and spread almost 3X as fast as the red...

I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but here goes... I have duckweed (and some other floating plant whose name I don't know) on top of my tank, and I like it a lot, but I don't know the best way to deal with the little bits of it that get sucked out when I'm doing water...
