Does anyone know what this is? It seems to have piggy-backed on a Riccia order I received. I think it might be duckweed, but I'm not sure.

Looks like duckweed to me...

You're rght, it's duckweed.

 

[Guns286]

Ok, thanks. Its spreading like crazy! I like the look but I have to control it better.

 

[Moody636]

It's really good at choking out light from other plants, or so I hear.

 

[demosthenes]

yep, definitely duckweed. you're lucky thats all that piggybacked, sometimes you can get wolffia sp, and THAT is horrible.

wolffia : aquariums :: herpes : people.

Wow Wilson! What a corallation!
I guess I'll just scoop a cup or two out once and a while.

Yeah, I got some of that accidentally once and it took over my tank. I'd scoop out handfuls of it when I did a weekly water change, and within a couple of days it would all grow back.
