My ammonia is down and my turtles have duckweed to eat now.

I added Zeolite Ammonia Remover to my XP3 filter and now 6 days later my ammonia level has dropped to a good rating. As you can see from the image to the left, the vile on the right is yellow which is today’s reading where as the one on left was from 3 days ago and it is green. Anything that is not yellow means you have large amounts of ammonia in your aquarim which is stressful to your fish. As far as my results are concerned, I am really happy with this product as you can see it has worked really well for me. 

I went to my Dads place at lunch today and he gave me a bunch of duckweed. Duckweed is a really small aquatic plant that grows very fast in aquariums. He bought some about a month ago and has since spread in his 10 gallon aquarium really fast. It started to cut the light to the bottom part of his aquarium so he gave me all that he had in that tank. He has spare duckweed in his other tanks so he can grow it really fast and replenish his stock. The reason I wanted duckweed was because is it good plant source for turtles and it’s pretty easy to replenish with it’s fast growth rate. When I got home today I put some in all 3 of my tanks and as soon as I added some to my turtle tank, my female turtle Cocco had a hay day! She loves this stuff as much as lettuce but I can’t say the same about my other turtle Rocco who ate a little bit but then gaveup on it. Rocco is a male turtle and is more of a meat eater where as Cocco my female turtle loves vegetables and could care less about fish in the tank even if they swim right infront of her mouth.
