looks like it isnt popular like Peas, cause it wasnt that good? or just hard to find for International.

That's duckweed, and I think wolffia is one of the smaller varieties.

I feed used to duckweed to my fish, but ceased to do that cos it was kinda of a chore growing them. Now I feed them hornwort instead biggrin.gif

I know a few people here feed duckweed though wink.gif

May be there's some mistake, I got that pic from Internet.

but mine sure was smaller than duckweed, caz it's only 0.5-1.5mm and has no root at all.

Duckweeds suppose to have root eh?

Wolffia is a member of the duckweed family wink.gif and I think it's the one famous TVR breeder Mr. Kashino from Japan use to feed his ranchus.

Today will go buy some of this, and hope it would spawn easily. biggrin.gif

It'll multiply easily enough, give it lots of sun and nutrients biggrin.gif

My goldfish LOVED duckweed. I never heard of this stuff before though. I bought some off of eBay for my pond. Turned into a tasty expensive snack for the goldies. lol. I would grow my own in another tank if I plan on giving it to them regularly.

They dont sell that anywhere here except for pond plant suppliers and that sort of thing.

Even in here, so hard to find. I still cant find one, ppl say it's not season for duckweed.

2-3 yrs ago there was direct sell to goldfish farm, I dun noe now.
