Duckweed (Lemna minor)

Duckweed (Lemna minor) is a fast-growing floating aquarium plant popular for its natural appearance, nutrient absorption, and ability to provide shade and cover for fish and shrimp. Its tiny bright green leaves quickly spread across the water surface, helping reduce excess nutrients and algae growth in aquariums and ponds.

Duckweed can also be used as a natural food source for many fish, goldfish, cichlids, turtles, shrimp, and other aquatic animals, making it both decorative and functional in aquariums and ponds.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, Duckweed thrives under moderate to high lighting and is ideal for breeding tanks, shrimp tanks, and natural-style aquariums. Due to its rapid growth, regular thinning may be required to maintain surface coverage.
