I recently put in a bunch of duckweed, enough to cover the expanse of a ten gallon, and loved it.

Lo and behold, few days later, I have a little less than 1/2 of it left.
From what I can observe, the remaining duckweed is as healthy as can be with long greenish roots. I have in the tank tuffie feeders, a whole batch. Is it possible that my tuffies are devouring my duckweed?

Do you mean goldfish feeders? They love duckweed.
