What I Did This Morning
Even though it's a
nuisance, I wish I could get rid of my snails as easily. Is there some magic potion I could put in which would make all my snails float to the surface where I could pick them off like duckweed? *humour* There is an even easier way.

I spent two hours picking duckweed out of a 30" x 12" x 3" mat of Riccia with tweezers and a jewelers loupe while my four-year old ran around my legs tunelessly screaming Christmas songs and my two-year old repeatedly attempted to immerse himself in the rinse bucket. I HATE duckweed... and, at this point, nearly everything else. LMAO. Used to have it in the aquarium - thought it would look neat. Finally got rid of it. I kept dumping it in my outdoor pond, but the goldfish ate every bit of it. Maybe that's a clue... Greg G. |

My Mbuans's love it but I have to give them duckweed from my planted tanks. I remove it using a small measuring cup and fish net. Works well, simply slowly immerse the cup and the flow of water going into the cup pulls the duckweed in with it. Dump it in the net and continue on. Rick |

Unfortunately, my affected tanks are full of guppy fry and itsy ramshorns - which keep the Riccia beds squeaky clean - so removal enmasse is not practical for me. Since the sale of both the guppies and the riccia substantially underwrites the expense of keeping all these tanks, I guess I'll try not complain too much. |
