Many thanks - I'll go for some more fish - wasn't sure whether duckweed was
a preferred dietary item, though ! Don't know about 6" Koi, though - a bit
pricey !

Help ! First timer on this group, with a problem - Duckweed. I have never
knowingly introduced it to my pond, but now it is taking over, and the three
fish are no longer seen (Ghost Carp and goldfish). What ferocious fish can I
introduce to devour the duckweed ? (But not the other fish.

Hmmm, that's a new one, usually the fish you have are suggested to eat it.
Stop feeding them, I assume you are? They will eat the duckweed. If that
doesn't work, get a Japanese Koi over 6" (course all fish should go thru a
minimum 6 week quarantine, especially koi, before going in your pond).
