Best beginner roof plants

I recommend you skip duckweed - it can be very difficult to remove if you dislike. Frogbit, red root floaters, water lettuce - dwarf lily banana plants are all options. Even jungle val. One issue I frequently run into is that feeding fishes can be a pia with too many floaters - the issue isn't the fish getting food - the problem is the food gets trapped in the plant and then decay. Of course it depends a bit on your stocking - in at least one of my tanks the snails and cory know where to go looking for food if they get hungry 😉

You have all the floating plants everyone else has mentioned, but you could also get plants like jungle val, gplant along the back and sides if you want, it will spread with runners, but also grows long, the leaves will grow up and then float across the surface. I have had them get 5-6 feet long which would reach from the substrate up and clear across a 55 gallon tank.
