What Are the Best Floating Plants for Aquascapes? 🌱
Floating plants do more than just look beautiful — they help prevent algae by blocking excess light, soak up nutrients, and offer your fish a cozy, shaded retreat.
Here are a few of our top picks:
✅ Salvinia – compact, fast-growing, and manageable
✅ Frogbit – elegant leaves with long roots, ideal for most tanks
✅ Red Root Floater – adds striking red tones under strong lighting
✅ Duckweed – tiny, efficient, and a bit of a wild card
✅ Water Lettuce – dramatic roots, great for larger/open tanks
