Default duckweed

I gots a few plants today at my lfs and I asked for a few duckweed, I never
saw it before and was surprised that it was
so small. So he gave me like 5 pieces for free. I've read posts that in a
few days this will overtake the surface? Will this happen to my tank given
such a small starting amount?
thanks

=====================
It multiplies rapidly in warm water with good light but doesn't compete well
with other plants. Some fish will eat this plant. Goldfish devour it!
