Duckweed gets a bad rap, 'cos it's invasive and difficult to remove, once established, but it's also readily available, often free and is usually the first thing to grab when live plants are needed to remedy a tank in a nitrogen crisis.
I have learned that whilst some LFS will stock plants, it is rare tht they stock floating plants, which is a pain in the butt when that's all you need.
HOWEVER...most, if not all fast growing plants will survive and grow, simply abandoned to the water column. Pond weeds such as Elodea are particularly good for this.
