Anybody raise & feed watermeal to your fish?
I feed to my fingerling because they are too small for duckweed and pallet.

Can anybody share your experience ? How to grow watermeal? what are the possible issue? ...

I'm trying to reduce pallet cost in my AP system?
I'm growing tilapia .

Havent heard of anyone growing watermeal and to be honest, not really sure what it is! :?

Im guessing that if duckweed is the second smallest plant(?)... then watermeal is THE smallest? Is that right?

Could you post a pic for us???

I just start grow watermeal last week.
Last night heavy rain took away my watermeal. I grow them outdoor in a few container without greenhouse protection.
So I have to start from zero again, and will post the picture.

I notice that fish like it very much. My fingerling start eating watermeal then duckweed(Lemna) then pallet then duckweed(spirodella).
I don't know why, may be size does the matter.

Grow watermeal in the duckweed thank is a good choice
