I gots a few plants today at my lfs and I asked for a few duckweed, I never
saw it before and was surprised that it was
so small. So he gave me like 5 pieces for free. I've read posts that in a
few days this will overtake the surface? Will this happen to my tank given
such a small starting amount?
thanks


It might, if nothing eats it. It doesn't grow rapidly in my tanks,
not sure why, but I don't particularly want it, so that's okay.
