One of the unique features of duckweed is its ability to reproduce quickly. Under favourable conditions, duckweed can double in number in just a few days. This makes it a valuable food source for fish and a potential biomaterial.

In addition, duckweed has been studied for its ability to remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from water. This makes it a potentially valuable tool for managing the water quality in your tank.

However, duckweed can also become a nuisance if they grow too dense and interfere with oxygen sources. If you want to add duckweed to your tank, keeping a close eye on their development is important.

Java moss (Vesicularia dubyana).
