Description
Red root floater (Phyllantus fluitans) is a versatile and very colorful floating plant that is sure to beautify your freshwater aquarium. The plant is known for its bright red roots and round green/ deep brown-red water-repellent leaves that become even more reddish under intense lighting.
This aquatic plant is durable, beautiful, and relatively easy to care for. In addition, Red root floater offers a lot of benefits such as oxygenation, denitrification, provision of hiding spots for shrimp and fry to escape aggressive species, and shade to different areas of the aquarium which actually encourages reclusive species to emerge from hiding.
