I have seen duckweed mentioned in connection with preparing a tank for spawning (bettas).
I am curious: what role does duckweed play in making a tank spawning-friendly? Do the fry eat it? Does the weed produce some chemicals that help the fry?
Also, where can I find duckweed? Island Pets and Petcetera are the two closest stores in my neighborhood, but I can't recall ever seeing it offered there. Any suggestions as to where I could get some?
