Tales from the Veggie Patch

lol, I was gonna ask but didn't want to look stupider than I already do.
only duckweed I know of is the one I sometimes put in my fishtank to suck the nitrates out of the water.
and that stuff is a nightmare to get rid of once it starts growing . it starves all my other plants of nutrients.

nitrates are not good for fish. plants love em but fish don't, and sadly fish produce ammonia in high levels which breaks down into nitrate and nitrite.
duckweed sucks this up faster than they can produce it.
