About this item

  • Included: Approximately 1200 live duckweed plants (Lemna Minor).
  • Fast-Growing & Hardy: Duckweed is a fast-growing, adaptable, and hardy plant with small, oval leaves (about 0.12 inches in size). Under good conditions, it can quickly cover the surface of an aquarium in about a week.
  • Great for Aquariums with High Biological Load: Duckweed helps absorb excess nutrients from the water column, promoting cleaner water and suppressing algae growth. Ideal for aquariums, ponds, and aquaponics systems.
  • Fish Love It: Koi, goldfish, and other fish species enjoy eating duckweed, while others benefit from the shade and cover it provides, helping them feel more secure.
  • High Protein Content: Duckweed contains up to 40% protein, making it a great natural food source for fish.
  • Low Maintenance Plant: Duckweed is incredibly easy to care for, requiring minimal attention. It's perfect for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
  • Oxygenates Water: As a live plant, duckweed helps oxygenate the water, promoting a healthier environment for fish and other aquatic life.
  • Light Requirements: Duckweed thrives under moderate to high light but can survive in lower light conditions as well. Ensure it receives at least 8-12 hours of light per day for optimal growth.
  • Snail Disclaimer & Benefits: We cannot guarantee duckweed is snail-free. Unlike tissue-cultured plants, it’s grown in nutrient-rich community water for optimal health. Your order may contain ramshorn, mystery, trumpet, or pond snails. To avoid snails, rinse or quarantine before adding to your tank. However, snails help control algae, eat leftover food, aerate the substrate, and introduce beneficial nitrates, supporting plant growth and a healthy aquarium ecosystem.
  • Veteran-Owned Business: Support a disabled veteran-owned business with your purchase—thank you for your support!

Plants survived shipping quite well during a moderate below freezing time and despite USPS delay in delivery. Tried to count to make sure I received all 1200 but got to 10 and they kept moving around, so I gave up but I'm pretty sure there are more than 1200 in the lot. It's been a couple of weeks since they arrived and they are multiplying already, so the koi will be happy once they come out of hibernation.

If you're not looking for random snails in your tank, open carefully. And they weren't even small snails, one was about an inch wide.

I recently purchased Duckweed (Lemna Minor) from South Shore Retail, and I couldn't be happier with the quality and service. I received more plants than expected, and they arrived in excellent condition. It seemed like they started growing and multiplying right away. Now a few months later, the duckweed has grown very well and looks fantastic, providing a natural look and beneficial coverage for my fish.Everything arrived promptly and well-packaged. The duckweed is a great choice for anyone looking to add a hardy, attractive plant to their aquarium. Supporting a veteran-owned business while getting a high-quality product is a win-win. Highly recommended!

I was worried bc it got below freezing yesterday and today here but everything looks great including the free snail (which i wasnt expecting but am grateful for). I will definitely be buying more from this seller, when I set up my new tank. He gave more than everywhere else, for less money and the bonus snail definitely made my day, plus buying from a veteran owned small business is a plus. Honestly the hardest thing was getting it all out of the bag. And yes it does look kinda gross how it's shipped but look how amazing it looks in the tank. It is a large amount too I have a 75gal bowed corner tank and I only have the back sectioned off so the duckweed wouldn't get messed up from the filter and it covered the whole thing.Very satisfied.
