Water Lettuce Growth

[jayaonline]

Hi,
 
I need to get some floating plants for my betta's and gourami's and I was wondering if water lettuce would grow if I kept the lid on the top of my aquarium? o
Or will it cause the water lettuce to rot?
 
Can you share your experiences?
Thanks

never had any experience with it but i suppose it would be fine, if not some other floating plants are amazon frogbit, riccia and duck weed there are loads more out there as well.  if not some bulbs send off large leaves which reach the surface

Hopefully it should be as i've just ordered some, if it doesn't work out i'll be trying  amazon frogbit next.
