What Type Of Plant Is This??

It looks like a water clover!! Kinda. I want to know what type of plant this is. It has little roots at the bottom, but it always floats. Can't find anything on the web.

Perhaps Duckweed?

Picture is a bit blurry for blind people like me. It's really small, right? And floats? I think we had that at one point. A nice plant, since you don't have to plant it! Warning! If it is what I think it is, and you ever want to get rid of it, you will have to find every tiny little leaf of it, or it will just keep coming back. Reproduces by division.

Perhaps Duckweed?

Yes.

From what I've heard it breeds like rabbits, cutting off a good chunk of your lighting to the bottom of the tank.

We always just scooped out a bit with each tank clean/water change, and that kept it under good control.

Awesome!! Thanks!! I noticed that it is growing/multiplying, but it's not too much of a problem. I don't have a lot of it right now.
