Looking for a natural, fast-growing floating plant that not only beautifies your tank but also improves water quality?

Duckweed (Lemna minor) is a tiny, free-floating plant that quickly covers the water surface, absorbing excess nutrients, reducing algae growth, and providing natural shade. Perfect for aquascapers, fishkeepers, and shrimp enthusiasts in Pakistan, Duckweed creates a natural, balanced ecosystem in both freshwater aquariums and outdoor ponds.

🌱 Size Included: 1 portion (3×3in) healthy, green duckweed ready to float and spread across your water surface.

Why Duckweed is a Must-Have for Your Aquarium

✔️ Natural Water Filtration – Absorbs nitrates and phosphates, helping to keep water clean and clear.
✔️ Provides Surface Cover & Shade – Reduces light penetration to lower algae growth and create a cooler environment for your fish.
✔️ Promotes Natural Ecosystem Balance – Offers a food source for certain fish and shrimp, while encouraging beneficial microfauna.
✔️ Fast-Growing & Self-Sustaining – Quickly spreads across the water surface, ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
✔️ Pakistan-Specific Adaptability – Thrives in local water conditions, making it perfect for tanks in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.

Perfect For

✅ Breeding Tanks & Community Aquariums – Provides a natural surface cover that reduces stress and offers hiding spots.
✅ Outdoor Ponds – Acts as a natural filter, reducing nutrient build-up and preventing algae blooms.
✅ Low-Tech & High-Tech Setups – Grows effortlessly without the need for CO₂ supplementation.

Duckweed Care Guide (Pakistan-Specific Tips!)

• Lighting: Low to Medium – It does well in moderate light; too much light may cause it to grow excessively dense.
• Water Conditions: pH 6.0–7.5 | Temperature 20–30°C – Ideal for Pakistani aquariums and ponds.
• Maintenance: Trim regularly if it covers too much of the surface to ensure proper gas exchange and light penetration.
• Feeding: Duckweed can be left to grow naturally or supplemented with a light liquid fertilizer if needed.

💡 Pro Tip: In warmer climates like Karachi or Lahore, duckweed tends to grow quickly; regular thinning helps maintain a balanced aquatic environment.
