Fish that eat floating plants? Sugestions?

[Suzanne2]

Does anyone have any fish that eat floating plants? Or shrimp I suppose or something else that would eat floating plants? They would be living in a 5 to 15 gallon aquarium most likely.
I currently have two 29 gallon tanks and a 10 gallon that get absolutely covered in dwarf water lettuce and duckweed. I hate just tossing it in the trash when I thin it out, and I'm not too fond of picking through it first to find my snails..
So I was thinking of setting up another tank with fish or shrimp or whatever, and then I could toss the floating plants into it where it could serve as food for vegitarian critters, and my snails could just go about there day in a new tank until I see them and moved them back.
I do put some of the thinnings in my worm bins, but then I still have to find my snails first. And the worms and springtails could never eat enough to keep up anyway.

Goldfish will eat duckweed.

Post it here in the Buy, Sell, Trade section. Someone might want some, especially the water lettuce.

I'd have to go with a pretty big tank for goldfish to be happy long term wouldn't I, since they grow pretty large eventually.

I should have mentioned it'd probably be a 5 gallon to 15 gallon tank that I would be using.

I totally would except all my tanks have blue green algae. So I don't think anyone will be wanting that Lol! Plus I run my tanks with lots of wild caught little macro sized critters (my cleanup crew) like Cyclops, daphnia, rotifers, scuds, flatworms, roundworms... most people would probably freak out if they had a bunch of creepy crawlers show up with the water lettuce

I have an bladder snail bowl set up that I toss excess plants and dying leaves into. When I say bowl I mean literally like one of those glass bowls that's maybe a gallon at most. It has no filter or anything and honestly the water is pretty gross and I should definitely do water changes but....They're bladder snails.

I have supper picky eaters when it comes to snails I guess. They don't touch the water lettuce at all. I have pond snails and ramshorn snails.
Might have to try out some different varieties because snails would be a supper easy way to go.
