Aspiring to be.
Avoid duckweed...its a pain to clean out of the tank and sticks to everything, clogging and choking filter inlets. After having to net out handful of the weed every week, and having dead duckweed stick all over your tank glass, you'll wish you didn't put it into the tank and will spend all day picking out and throwing away every single tiny weed.
Use plants with bigger leaves such as frogbits instead and save yourself the pain
yes its duckWEED
everytime i want to drop food, tweezer, net, the duckweed is stickin on to everything
frogbit looks nicer
water lettuce grows too fast
Actually have to manually remove all, else they will grow out of control fast.
The giant variety easier to manage, but don't see much. Even in NA

i used to have frogbits too, but converted to duckweed recently.
cos im on a shallow tank, and the long roots from the frogbits will always get caught in my stem plants, and the roots will eventually break and tangle itself all over my tank. that was a bigger mess than duckweeds, so i went for duckweeds after some thought...
