Experiment #1 Duckweed and Turquiose Rainbows

So I have duckweed running rampant in my fish room. I'm too lazy to eliminate it via manual removal when it would mean 20+ tanks of it.

I bought a group of 5 Turquise Rainbows. I took a picture of the layer of duckweed in a 55 gallon with them still in the bag. I'm hoping that in a few days or weeks I'll be updating with a tank with no duckweed in it at all.

my Australian rainbow loved to eat floating plants..and chasing my poor maccullochi rainbow fish..so now he is being held in a 10g with my marbled cray untill he finds a home.

good luck

I think my pearsei would be in heaven in that tank. All the duckweed he could eat!

I have been trying to find someone around here that could hook me up with some duckweed hehe

Hey Cory,

Did you get those Turquoise Rainbows at The Fish Store today? I stopped there today to get a female and they said they just sold the last of them.....was that you?

Nope, I secured mine from A Place For Pets
