Phyllanthus Fluitans, common name Red Root Floaters, is a great floating plant addition to your tank. The roots take on very deep red colors and provide shelter for small fry and shrimp. In addition these floating plants will help naturally filter your water column. It is a fast growing fern that will spread in no time. Under certain lighting conditions this fern will also sprout small white flowers on top of them. The coloring of your floaters will depend on your lighting and fertilization. Yours may look different than posted within a few days being in your tank.
