What?! Is this duckweed???

[LostBear]

Sooo. Long story short I had some guppies in a 10 gallon. I moved the fuplies to a 15 gallon and emptied the 10, completely rinsed everything and set up the tank on my new stand.

I found a little floating plant. It looks like duckweed to me. I have never EVER had duckweed in any of my tanks. how in the world did it get there? Is it duckweed or something else?

What's a fuplie?

Hand how do you get to type it without autcarrot repeatedly "correcting" your spelling?

I think she meant guppies, not fuplies lol

Now that I look at it, the leaves don't seem to be flat.

My mistake for calling it duckweed.

Her autochecker changes guppies to fuplies, but I use fuplie as my new f-word.

Really?

 

[Colin_T]

yes, should see the puzzled looks on the cop's faces when you say, this fuplie idiot just cut me off.

I can't imagine the cop's face

It could be a seedling from a terrestrial plant seed that blew into the tank, or duckweed. Baby duckweed plants can have 1 leaf and develop more as they grow.

I agree, it does look a lot like a terrestrial seedling.... But I am by no means an aquatic plant expert....So, what the Fuplie do I know!

Lol

I dunno, my duckweed doesn't have such long root(s).

 

[betta fish]

I agree the root does look a little long for duckweed though the leaves look like it, though first seed leaves on plants look similar, I'd pot it in some soil and see what it grows into

Oh!

Thank you Salty - I honestly thought it was something real I'd never encountered before.

As you were, everyone. Panic over.

*I use fuplie as my new f-word.* - Interesting idea, O Evil One! I generally just say "Fish!" anyway.

I don't use any language or any substitute for any language. Its un healthy and its bad for the young ears around you.

That's why I like fuplie. It's not offensive and has a comical nature. And if the cops don't like it, they can get fuplied.
