Red Root Floaters

Description: Red root floaters (Phyllanthus fluitans) are a small, freshwater floating fern plant native to South America. They are known for their bright red roots and leaves that can turn red under high lighting. Red root floaters are a popular aquarium plant because they are easy to care for and provide a number of benefits, including: Shade and cover for fish: Red root floaters can form a dense mat on the surface of the water, providing shade and cover for fish. This can be especially beneficial for shy or reclusive fish. Improved water quality: Red root floaters absorb excess nutrients and waste products from the water, helping to improve water quality. Reduced algae growth: Red root floaters shade out algae, helping to prevent it from growing in the aquarium. Food for fish and invertebrates: Red root floaters can be a good source of food for fish and invertebrates, such as shrimp and snails. Red root floaters are relatively easy to care for. They prefer medium to high lighting and warm water temperatures (75-82 degrees Fahrenheit). They can be grown in a variety of water conditions, but they do best in soft to medium-hard water with a pH of 6.5-7.5. Red root floaters are a fast-growing plant, so it is important to thin them out regularly to prevent them from taking over the aquarium. To thin them out, simply remove some of the plants or trim them back. Overall, red root floaters are a great addition to any freshwater aquarium. They are easy to care for, provide a number of benefits, and are very attractive.
