Aquatic plants

[cheesechee]

Does anyone know where I'd find sources on which aquarium plants I can safely feed my ducks? I already feed them hornwort and duckweed, but I have a lot in my planted tank I'm sure they'd love but I'm a little nervous... Maybe I should assume that fish safe ones should be safe for ducks? I have stuff like cambomba, guppy grass, and a lot more I don't remember the names off the top of my head.

Here is a link for a database of toxic plants. So it will have a list of plants to avoid. https://opensanctuary.org/article/the-open-sanctuary-projects-global-toxic-plant-database/

Watercress is the only one I can think of, but I am sure there are tons more. Someone else may have an idea of things they can eat.

I think that any water plant they eat will be harmless; especially aquarium plants. There are a few toxic green water algae but ducks would have a hard time eating enough to hurt them. But, with that said, they definitely have their preferences. They love Elodea, but Cabomba, not so much.
