Duck weed is a nice cover for a small pond like the one in your photo, but if you have fish, they'll eat it right up. I think you may be able to grow a water lily in there aswell. Hornwort is a good underwater plant. In reality, there are all sorts of pond plants. It just depends on what you want.

Water lettuce, hornwort, parrot feathers are all good. Lily would be good, but may be too big for your pond.

I've had good luck with corkscrew rush so far. It's a neat plant--some of the foliage grows straight, and some of it grows in a corkscrew pattern. It just depends how much room you have in your pond.

My rush hasn't really done anything. I may need to repot it into something larger but it really hasn't grown since I bought it. I've got corkscrew and blue.
