Central American Cichlids • duckweed good for cichlids?

[gutted]

I threw in a small net full of duckweed just to see if it would multiply in my carpintis tank and they ended up eating it. Is there any nutrional value in it? This could be a nice mix in between pellets, flakes & frozen brine shrimp.

I dont see why it would hurt them, seems like a good source of plant matter to me.
