    duckweed is highly invasive and on the black list. Guppy grass is also highly invasive and should be on the black list :D

    Henk is right make sure you want the stuff before you put it in your tank.

    I'd suggest staying away from duckweed.... besides being BL, it's a PAIN in the ars to get rid of. I know of some people who took their entire tank apart, chucked out the substrate, replaced substrate, plants, and the only thing they kept for the new tank was the filter... and guess what... DUCKWEED.
