Giant Duckweed
Spirodela polyrhiza (commonly called giant duckweed or greater duckweed) is a floating aquatic plant often used in aquariums and ponds.
Key Features • Larger than regular duckweed – about 5–10 mm wide, while common duckweed is tiny. • Floating plant with round, flat leaves (called fronds). • Usually has multiple roots per leaf, unlike smaller duckweed which has one root. • Reproduces extremely fast by splitting.
Aquarium Benefits • Great for fish and shrimp tanks • Helps absorb nitrates and ammonia, improving water quality. • Provides shade and cover for fish fry and shrimp. • Many fish (like goldfish, guppies, and some snails) will eat it.
Care Requirements • Light: Medium to high light • Temperature: ~60–86°F (16–30°C) • Water flow: Prefers low flow water • Fertilization: Usually unnecessary in stocked aquariums
