I need some expert advise. I have been told it is azolla but after comparing to some other photos on this forum I think it may be duckweed. What do you guys think? Attachment: photo (1).JPG [ 171.35 KiB | Viewed 10220 times ] Attachment: photo.JPG [ 180.24 KiB | Viewed 10220 times ] |

Looks like duckweed to me. Azolla is bigger and fluffier. |

The guy said he had azolla but when I asked him about it and the difference to duckweed he couldnt really tell me, but said if i wanted some to drop by and he would give me a handfull. Once getting it and looking at some other pictures on forum is what made me think it might be duckweed. I have ordered some of ebay anyway so will compare once I get that lot. Thanks for help. |
