Now this is the tricky part of ecology.On one hand we are afraid of water being a breeding ground for mosquitoes while on the other we may introduce unwanted parasites if any aquatic life form is use to keep the insects at bay.I think a handful of guppies from a relative clean environment should do the trick to maintain larvae free water and provide nutrients in the form of nitrates for your duckweed.
Now I must stress that only a few fish are required and you might have to time and time cull off excess to maintain population so as not to degrade water condition .A period of stabilisation or quarantine should be factored to ensure the guppy initial die off before they settle in their environment.So it is not advisable to feed the duckweed at this stage for fear of contamination from source.However this is never full proof and an element of risk of infection cannot be entirely ruled out in all enclosed water system |
