I susepct there aren't any varieties of duckweed, but there are some
species that have basically the same growth habit that do.  I have Salvinia
natans, which has leaves around a 1/4" across, and also Limnobium
laevigatum (Amazon Frogbit) which can get up to 5-6" across in my tanks,
although they're mostly under 2" across.  Needless to say, both are MUCH
easier to control!

Doug

p.s. is there any update on the petSwarehouse suit?
