Newbie question : Plant identification
At a LFS they had a few planted thanks, the clerk working there did not
know anything about plants, although he was pretty knowledgeable about marine setups, anyways.... In one of the planted tanks there were these clumps of small floating plants, they were simply two small leaves joined at a point with a tiny root hanging down. They floated on the surface in clusters and all seemed to be the same size, about eh.. 1 or 2 cm from the tip of one leaf to the tip of the other, does anybody happen to know what this was? It was very established in one of the tanks, and there was a few in the other planted tanks. thanks --donovan |

Newbie question : Plant identification
Duckweed. Avoid this plant with every fiber of your body. It is so prolific, a
tiny clump will cover the surface of your tank and block all the light before you know it. It's a weed, pure and simple. -- ------ Billy ----- *AOL is Sucks* ----- Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie!' till you can find a big rock.

I had greed water for a long time. I got few duckweed with some plants. I knowingly put them in my tank. Now I have a group of them. They are really sucking extra nutrients. -- Thank You Dominic http://www.dlink.org/aqua |
