Post subject:  Duckweed in perth - Free Supply
Anyone know where i can pick up some duckweed in or around Perth for free?

Sorry to all those who thought I was offering free duckweed from the title of the post... :D

Hi Bio-farmer,

For what it's worth, be a bit careful about gathering duckweed from a watercourse if you don't know what it's origins are.

Duckweed is an excellent means by which to take heavy metals out of polluted water but that may not be the best thing to feed to your fish.

My advice would be to take some duckweed and grow it out yourself - that way you retain complete control over what's going into your fish.

There is a thread here somewhere that gives all the details. Perhaps the search button would help you locate the thread.
