Yup, that's Duckweed for ya!

 

[LadyG]

I have it on my 55 gallon and my red platies gobble it up. I can never find more than a few pieces.

I hate it and love it at the same time, but such is the nature of Duckweed...

 

[farrenator]

Be careful of how you dispose of it since it is labeled as an invasive species in some States.

 

[Hmoobthor]

Ahh duckweed... I can think of many things to call it, and surprisingly one of them is useful, but i can take over if left unchecked. Crazy plant in my opinion, lives when you dont want it to, doesnt when you do

GAAD! Duckweed and azolla are very prolific. I place goldfishes for a while and after one to two days. It's gone. They eat it like salad. )

 

[wicca27]

i wish i could get some true azolla ive seen several people have it but its not really azolla

 

[Indian fern]

If you live in tropical countries like me We just grab it in rice fields, ponds and other gentle bodies of water.

wicca27: Azolla is all over the place in your area.

Azolla caroliniana is even plentiful in Louisville.
