Subwassertang, also known as Süsswassertang, is a unique freshwater plant that isn't actually a true moss or fern but is often mistaken for them due to its delicate, translucent green fronds which make it a popular choice for aquariums. Despite its name, which means "freshwater seaweed" in German, Subwassertang belongs to the liverwort family and thrives in low-light conditions.

Cardamine lyrata is actually a marsh plant from Japan. But it is also a familiar aquarium plant which thrives under water with 20-50 cm long stems.
