I seriously doubt the duck weed killed the fish, or lack of food, as
lots og GF are perfectly content to eat duckweed and nothing else
added by their keeprs.

Get a aquarium type net (typically greenincolor with a twisted wire
handle, and start scooping or if you have sufficient space a flat type
swimming pool skimmer net works fine at removing it.Its a chore for
sure as all it takes is one minute piece left and its going to start
growing and multiplying all over again so if your intent on getting
rid of it its going to take a lot of diligence and time....but its
doable.
