Red Root Floater

Red Root Floater (Phyllanthus fluitans) is a small floating plant prized for the deep red its rounded leaves and dangling roots take on under bright light. Those trailing roots give shrimp and fry welcome cover while the plant soaks up excess nutrients at the surface. Keep surface agitation low so its leaves stay dry and colorful.
