200 Live Duckweed Plants (Lemina Minor) by DBDPet | Live Arrival Guaranteed

Despite the 60° Fahrenheit temperature in my area most of the duckweed came in live and green and the quantity is enough to cover a 5 gallon tank's water surface half way. The roots will fall off easily and will be suspended in the tank's water column there's also a bad pond smell but it's nothing opening the window can't fix.

I got the order one time and yes they were still alive (very green just like the picture) but when I opened the lid of the container I instantly noticed a very potent and pungent smell from them. It was so gross smelling I didn't want to add them to my freshly cleaned tank.

So smelly you can smell it across the back yard. It came dead but still slightly green so I thought I could save it however my ducks very quickly and happily ate them up. Hard to blame them. Didn’t long, they’re gone. Needless to say, they did not germinate or populate any more.

When I opened the containers they stunk sooo bad, that's why I'm giving them a 4 stars,Be careful. They looked ok tho I have them in a tank with no fish just to make sure they don't have any hitch hikers, or any thing else.

Bought these for my new planted aquarium. They look great!I received well over 200 duckweed plants that were nice and green, with some dead duckweed underneath the live ones, which was expected to happen during shipping, so it's okay.As stated in the product description, they came in a container that reeks of sour sewage when opened, which is normal, so just be careful not to open it inside.There are some main things to keep in mind before buying:- Each little duckweed plant is flat and extremely tiny, and sticks to most aquarium tools, so taking them out and putting them in a separate little dish before doing tank maintenance is recommended.- You need to make sure that the water you keep your duckweed in is somewhat calm on the surface, otherwise the duckweed will get caught up in the water column and filter, making a mess.- These little guys help keep the surface of the water more clear as well as shade the inhabitants below it, and are a great addition to an aquarium or aquatic plant setup.- Shrimps sometimes like to hang onto these plants and search for food on the underside of them, which looks a bit weird, but it's perfectly normal. Also, many fish choose to lay their eggs under the duckweed to keep them protected, so please keep the duckweed undisturbed if you see them.I'm writing this review a few months after I bought the duckweed plants, and thought I would share. Overall, they're selling healthy, long-lasting, hitchhiker/pest-free plants that are beautiful and do a fair bit of good for your aquarium. Would buy again. :)

Look’s absolutely nothing like the photo …Although it does not smell like most reviews .. its is the size of fine ground pepper .. no identifiable “ leaves .. just thousands of tiny specks of green …Imagine putting broccoli florets in a blender .. lolJust glad I didn’t waste to much money on it ..For reference I ordered 5 packages …

First, I ordered these from Plant My Tank, and they are very many. They came in a sealed bag with plenty of air and moisture inside and the plants look very vibrant with minimal wilted mixed in. They also smelled very fresh, didn't even smell like pond water, which gives me confidence that they were well rinsed before packaging. I ordered the 200 option but if I had to guess there are probably closer to 350-400 at least. I know some probably won't survive but I was worried that there wouldn't be enough and I would have to order more. I may end up putting some in my aquarium as well as my pond just because I have the extras.Dec 2021 edit: put some in my aquarium to winter last year and they are still thriving and were used in my pond again this last summer. The hardest thing with them is making sure to constantly thin them out because they multiply VERY fast, especially in warm water. I am still very pleased.

I am very new to the aquascaping world but suggestions led me to this plant type. I loved the plants but they are not for me lol I did however come across some problems. To start my package was left in my mailbox in 100 degree weather, and when I placed them in my tank they instantly turned my tank really cloudy. The next morning not only did I find my filter clogged, as well as not flowing, I also came across 13 dead whisker shrimp! It broke my heart! Needless to say I removed them from the tank.
