The Azolla grew quickly in my goldfish tank and added vibrant color. The red and purple leaves stand out and the fish seem to enjoy it. It’s easy to maintain and spreads well without needing much attention.
James Watson –
I was impressed by how fast it spread. The colors are more vivid than regular duckweed. My goldfish are now more active near the surface where the plant floats.
Dominic Sutherland –
Great addition to my tank. It’s colorful, grows fast, and provides natural food for the fish. I only got a small amount, but it’s enough to start with and has already covered a good portion of the surface.
