I don't know where you live but water lilies can become a serious pest in
soil bottom ponds here in TN. They will take them over covering the water
surface completely.

Will they choke out duckweed? At least lilies bloom, I've never seen
duckweed do that.
============================
Whatever duckweed survived would have to utilize the small spaces between
the lily leaves. I would think any fish in some of the ponds I've seen
would smother.
