Default duckweed

I have discovered that adult pink convicts eat the hell out of it too. If
you have those, give em a go at it.

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!
