GRK-351 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm thinking about throwing some duckweed in my malawi breeding tanks, and just wondering what everyone's experiences and reccomendations are? I'll be mainly using it to reduce nitrates, just wondering if it is worth it (i.e. will it make a noticeable difference), and will the fish over eat it or just nibble at it here and there? Thanks, Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod54 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have duckweed in most of my tanks..... don't think it would last long in a Malawi tank.....they'll eat it Great food for goldfish, rainbows, malawi cichlids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
