Floating plants

This might sound a bit unrealistic - but I'm looking for an easy grow floating plant that also does not block out light as I've got some wisterias, bacopa C, vesicularis/Xmas moss and egaria densa growing from the substrate. Its a low-tech tank w/ moderate lighting and only on liquid ferts (Micro and macro). Soft water, neutral ph and fully cycled. Got some amanos and a few barbs. 20G.

The objective is to give a homely area for my honey gouramis.

I've already read some articles and posts, but they all warn floaters blocking out light for others. This isn't something I want. Would duckweed or frogbit work if I keep them limited to a section with relatively low light (Under the filter drip trey)?

Thank you guys! That was really helpful. Love the airline idea - I was thinking of a an aquarium-safe material and airline never cme to mind! Duckweed looks pretty good too, so that's what I am going to get.

Sorry about my late reply, for some reason I didn't get any notifs.
