ATTACK of the PLANT

[Dominick]

well i have this plant thats floating on the top of my water
it was ok looked good kinda looks like duckweed problem is i dident buy duck weed well with in like 2 days it went from covering about one square foot to covering the whole top of the tank lol i do have glosso could it be that?

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Sounds like duckweed to me. Don't think glosso would be like that.

 

[Dominick]

oh well might have been a hitchhiker ill just skim most of it off
dont want to remove all of it my baby guppies love it and so do the adult mollies

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Yup, and they do love nitrates. That's why it's spread so fast.

 

[Dominick]

Ahhhh figures lol i upped my nitrates to counter balance my high phosphates

darned if you do and darned if you dont

 

[Lonewolfblue]

Yup, but it's not a bad thing. I had it for a while, then all of a sudden, it completely disappeared. Not sure why either. Kind of wish I still had mine, lol.

 

[Zezmo]

Ah...LWB, you killed that fine duckweed I gave you

 

[Dominick]

LOL i have enough to cover the state of jersey

 

[Lonewolfblue]

lol....

I have no idea where it went. Wonder if my nitrites were so low because of such a heavy bioload that they died off, lol. I had tons, then none, lol. Either that or it was the roseline sharks, lol.

Mine did the same thing, was really gorwing, I took half out and a week later it was gone. I got mine as a hitchiker from my LFS on plants and it didn't show up for 3 weeks after I put the plants in.
