It can provide great cover for fry and it is fast growing so it takes up nutrients faster than most plants, meaning that your tank will have less nitrates. Other than that, I don't think there's that much that is positive about it. It a nuisance for the most part. Once you have it you have it for good. It's kinda like the herpes of plants!

If you have jumpers, it can reduce the chances.

If you are looking for a nice floating plant for a tank you may want to think about frogbit. I don't believe it's as difficult to get rid of compared to duckweed, but I could be wrong. It is much nicer looking in my opinion and it is much larger leaved so it can be more easily removed from the tank. It has some awesome looking root systems too.

Duckweed can be a pain, but it does grow quickly, removing nutrients from the water. It is hard to get rid of, but not that difficult to control. Severums will eat it, and is one way to get rid of it.
