So here's a thing. If you're going to store it in the family freezer, I can't stress enough the importance of clearly labelling it. Otherwise you end up with a supper of sausage and couscous, with a tomato, onion, garlic and duckweed sauce.

Mark, you are a truly generous man. You take the time to experiment and learn how to do these things and then give them away to us when you could easily keep it to yourself and sell the product. I really appreciate your efforts and thank you for assisting us.

i was scared to get duckweed because of how people complain about it, but now I have to have it thanks to your information.

Mark how far you have fallen... dealing weed now to fund your shrimp habit. Also I'm telling your missus you used her blender.

I for one really enjoy the diy food tutorials!

I've been warned away from duck weed but I like it. After this video, I'm getting some. Thanks.

My snails are going to love this too!

🚨yummy, TY for sharing!

I love duckweed 💚

This is amazing! I really want to get shrimp again now

You are always so enjoyable!! ❤

Deffo going to try this Mark

Great video, very informative. Thank you.

you are a genius!! im doing this 100%

Top vid mate adding this to my.. Zero cost hobby list.. thanks for sharing :)

Wow, I saw that video just now and I really want to try this out! Thanks for sharing this, Mark. I never thought about making my own shrimp food. And I have so much duckweed I toss out that often!

this is the main reason i grow duckweed. i bought some different species off a guy on facebook, so now I have like four species of duckweed. duckweed queen, LOL. i feed it to my chickens and worms and use it as a green manure around my gardens. loooooove this stuff!

So interesting, thank you for sharing!

This is why I love KZfaq, you can always find something new! Thanks for sharing! Just subscribed.

This is.... Awesome!

I have learned so much from watching your videos. Keep up the good work. 😁

Thanks for all you awesome videos. You have helped me a lot in this hobby!

Cooking with Mark! Getting ideas of things to add when I try. thanks for the inspiration and as always great job Mark

Got some bad ass tanks!

Thanks now i know shrimp also like this duckweed

Thanks for the great video Mark!! My goldfish love the stuff so I have been growing it in the shrimp tanks. Now the shrimp can share in the bounty!

You are so kind and helpful!! Thank you for all your great videos!!!! You have taught me a lot!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Your videos are huge help Mark!!! You got me hooked on shrimp, I’m on my second tank with red crystals :)

greetz from Belgium and as always keep on shrimping with a thumbs up

glad to see such a "nuisance" plant put to good use! thank you for the info!

Might have to try this. Thanks for the info

Very interesting.. well done mark . Thanks for sharing!

Damn that’s a nice tank

Awesome! Now if only I had some duckweed to make some!

Thank you for making this video.

Nice Info! I will finally do something good with my duckweed. Thanks dude!

Thank you so much for all the great info!!! Trying this tonight, I have so much duck weed in all my tanks. Time to make some duck weed food😁

I was mid rcs unboxing while watching this video... I started my shrimp tank because of you mark!!👍🏻

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Seriously an amazing video. Probably one of my favorites from you lol. Very useful

Wow! never thought of this before. been tossing this stuff for years when I could have been making my own fish food out of it.. Thanks for the idea. keeping fish is a hobby. Why not make it support itself. dollars saved could be used for a new strain of fish or equipment..

I’ve always kind of liked the duckweed but wondered what I could do with all of the duckweed I’d have to pull out of there. Now I know. ;)

This is really innovative, great job Mark. I will definately try this out!

I know most people hate Duckweed but i personally love it in my Betta and Black Platy Breeder tank. About once a week I make a scoop out of the excess and chuck it in the goldfish pond. Pretty tanks and free food.

I've been putting it in my compost.

"Wow ,!" This makes me hungry!

Super cool!I have so much of it in my endler tank,I will make some.

Thanks for the video. After watching this and your nettle video, I'm going to try combining the 2 so I have nettle flake over the winter.

Thank you very much for this video it is a great idea

Love watching these videos thank you You really need to add a Amazon link so you can get the kick back on our purchases

Awesome video!!

nice, thank you for sharing this one bro, I have loads of duckweeds in the pond he he

Liquidating duckweed........Will give this a try for sure. I have a huge tub of powdered pollen

My Shrimp go nuts whenever I put some of your food in the tank (thanks again for the nice sample, that I got with my pollen).....I may try this with spinach, since our garden is full with it 👍

Shrimp: what’s for dinner? Other shrimp: yum duckweed!

Thank you Mark , but could you put in the oven ? anyways you're the best Mark ; master schrimp..the close up on your shrimps is amazing ; much love chris !

Mark Thanks for all your info. I use the burning nettle and plan to try the duukweed. What do you think about adding some of the nettle to the duckweed blend. Have you tried it for fish.

Also a food mix that fish enjoy as well :)

awesome vid and your video quality is getting better each video. keep up the good work

Congrats on 10k subscribers, my friend! I just happen to have about 6 metric tons of duckweed growing outside. This video may have saved my life.

You're accent is awesome

Okay Idea Place into double zip, freezer type bags. Roll down the bag Date bags Maybe add a solo drop of a supplement or vitamin Freeze in a rolled log manner Thaw in fridge for use Cut off end and pipe onto a algea wafer like a shrimp cupcake. Drop into tank Wafers sink, should.stick together, duel food, I'd imagine fun to watch them eat it. Treat as a treat or make the cupcakes right from the start and sheet freeze, then bag... Take from bag dwc duck weed cupcake, drop in tank frozen. If anyone uses this, please let me know! I just came up with the idea to post. Thanks always Mark!

This is what tilapia are raised with in South America! Never considered its use for shrimp. Nice video

WOW Mark!! You are so smart!! 😂 Thanks for the GREAT tip, because duckweed can be a pain 😉. Have a nice day!! or actually evening 😊. See you on the next stream!!

congratulations on 10000 subs mark you deserve many more

Oh man and I have just been throwing that stuff away when I get to much in my tanks and can't sell it! Great video I will have to try this soon!

nice iloved this kind of plants. you can also pelletize them to make feeds for you're livestock's...

Hi mark. Could I use an egg as the binding agent? Maybe add some flour or powdered spinach or cornflour for it to thicken?

where do you get the pollen? How do i do a search for it? What name? OOOkay, scratch that question, i just found your awesome online store! Ohhhhh man can hardly wait till payday hahah. You should link your store on your videos. Looks great and reasonable prices for sure.:)

very smart. Surely they need other variety in their diets though like eggs, milk, some other random veggies added into this mix to round out their nutrients. You can also dry via toaster oven for 4 hours on 150f.

congrats on 10k subs

I've been killing off duckweed in all of my tanks except for one.. And I think that one remaining tank will have to continue to grow duckweed now!

What was the white powder? Thank you

hey mark might be a silly question but the pollen you use is it just bee pollen thanks

If you were to string together some floating bio media couldn't that help contain the plants while also providing the shrimp with another source to feed off of?

Good vid nice tank 🐙🦑🦀🦐🐠🐟🐡🐬🐋🐳🐅

this is my dream hobby

I just got my hands on some duckweed, was wondering if I was to mash up some lawn fertilizer like a gram or two, that has phosphate and nitrogen and added to the duckweed, would it speed up its growth? I just want to use it as a straight up food for my fish.

This is awesome! Thanks sharing how it's done. Can you link the montmorillonite clay you bought?

Nice bro 😁 👍

I have tons of duck weed glad to know it's got a purpose now.

Thanks for sharing! I wonder if other floating plants would be good for this. I usually have more frogbit and salvinia than I know what to do with.

What are you adding to the mix at 6:17? what kind of pollon are you using and where do you buy it?

Soylent Green is people 🏃🍽💚

I've been wanting to get some to grow for my koi. No aquarium stores around here have it. They consider it a pest plant. I'll get some eventually.

Would this work with other floating plants like Salvinia Minima?

Duckweed,like everything it's in front of us all along.

Plz tell me about white powder u use i don't know about

Amazing idea! Maybe i wil try this. Thank you Mark! This make think, is honey harmful to the shrimp?

OH come on taste it. LMBO!

Great video Mark!!! I was wondering if you could use other plants from the aquarium such as Java Moss, Water Lettuce, Anacharis, Wisteria and such. Since I have a ton of live plants that I trim and remove constantly, I was wondering what your thoughts are on other plants or is duck weed more nutritious for some reason? Keep up the great vids!!!

Thank u very much!👍🏻 Have u a Idea, how and from what Plant i can collect my own Pollen.... excuse my english, please.... best wishes from Germany/ Bavaria.

Duckweed is good protein. Maybe try adding some spinach to the mix or baby kale!

finally I'm making this today lol I have but 1/4 of what u had in that bucket can I make it without anything added into it?

Hey mark! Any specific brand name of pollen you recommend buying to use for this? I honestly didn't know you could buy pollen until I watched this video and really want to try to make this for my shrimp! I throw out so much duckweed every week but not may have a new purpose for it! Thanks

Hi Mark, Have you tried feeding this to any algae eating fish? I'm looking for an alternative food for them and I have lots on duckweeds as well in my tanks.

I dont have duckweed, but I have Salvinia Auriculata which is a small floating fern, will that work as well?

Hey, Thx. :) I'm currently inundated with African Frogbit, so I should try to find if it has nutritional protein value, fiber content, et al. for use as DIY shrimp / fish food. Do you happen to know? Brought back fond memories of my family's restaurant and candy business. My great uncle was the candy maker. He'd pour out various candies onto a water cooled table after he had clamped down four (4) stainless steel bars. Then he'd use another bar as a grate to level it all out to a uniform thickness. So, huge THX for that! :) With a 3D printer one could create and print various molds, like rounds, squares, whatever, etc.

Great video! What is the white powder added before the pollen? And is there anything else you ever mix in with the other ingredients? Any kind of insect larvae or other blended plant vegetation or a home made fish meal? I'd be interested in experimenting with this mixture if you thought it could be fruitful.
