I like duckweed, most will hate it but I love it.
Never have a problem with it, if you block the filter intube with a sponge u will be good.
Filter will push it down but won't suck it up.

water lettuce, there 2 type... The mini one n the big one. Both r also good floater but a bit hard to grow under low light. But again all plant will grow as long there light+plant food, co2 if ur using it.

I just hate how all the plant get together in front of the filter. Every morning I have to push them away from the middle so it can float on the side.

I agree! I gave up pushing my frogbit around. I wonder how people prevent floating plants from doing that? I wonder if the pretty pictures i see of tanks, with floating plants nicely distributed, were taken really quickly before they migrated back to the filter ;)
