All names I have heard for a small plant that has about a 2 inch root, and
2-3 1/8 inch leaves. My bro in law gave me a ton of it. I like the look, but
wonder if it is a bad idea or good idea. The fish seem to love it, nibbling
on the roots.

Any thoughts?

Duckweed has smooth edges.
Azolla has serrated edges.
I had a pondful of Azolla in the frog bog die in a period of 90-100+ weather.
If it survives the summer Azolla turns red in the fall and looks very pretty.
I have duckweed in the big pond. It grows in the filter and on the waterfall.
Any that gets into the pond gets eaten up by the fish.
