This is just what I pulled out this afternoon. Is there anything that eats this stuff? I heard mystery snails but mine just sits on the substrate 95% of the time although I have seen him hanging out at the waterline possibly eating it. I was hoping maybe my red root floaters would help fight back but I keep finding them buried under duckweed clumps now too. I know it’s like herpes but can I at least minimize the flare ups?

You could always up your surface agitation since that slows down duckweed growth 🙂
You can dry em, then bled em, and mix em with various of veggies and frozen meat treats and mix with non flavored jello, and freeze in a cube tray of any size or shape. And there you go! A tasty snack for fish in snails. Duckweed is healthy for fish in snails, and goldies love it.
I like them in my compost pile
add in a few buckets of duckweed, and a big pile of leaves turn to soil in a week
Dry em and mix them into the potting soils of a house plant, my monstera and elephant ears love em
IMO you don’t want stuff eating all that in your tank, you want to remove it. You’re removing nitrates when you do that.
I think duckweed is basically easy mode for tanks, when it crowds out the light it limits algae growth, then you remove it and your other plants can grow.
