  • Duckweed/Azolla floating plants

    Overrunned by the stuff...

    Nothing extreme to be feeding a pond full of kois but probably a cup full to get you going or cycle a tank.

      It does shade anything underneath but you can get airline tubing and connect out to make a floating ring to hold it off to one side.

      It multiplies like the plague

                        The frog bit is the larger of the bunch, the red root is nice but small like plain m&m

                        the others is super tiny
