How To Grow Duckweed To Feed Your Goldfish
- The first thing you’ll want to do is buy some duckweed from your local pet store. Most pet stores should have some available. If not a friend that has a pond and is in hobby might have a scoop to give you. It grows quick, a scoop is all you’ll need.
- Once you have your duckweed, grab a bucket from your house and fill it with water. If you have a pond, grab the water from there. Place the bucket in full sun.
- Place the duckweed in the container of water.
- Add some Miracle Grow fertilizer. I like to add some to the water to help with the duckweeds growth and faster reproduction. Plants need nutrients to grow and multiply.
- As the duckweed grows, scoop out some to feed to your goldfish.
That’s all there is to it! It’s pretty easy to grow duckweed. It’s not hard to learn how to grow duckweed and you can be feeding your goldfish these tiny floating aquatic plants in no time. Your goldfish will love it! Feeding goldfish duckweed and a variety of different foods is recommended as it will help keep your goldfish healthy. I hope you decide to grow your own duckweed for your goldfish.
