Ceratopteris thalictroides, a fern native to tropical regions, typically reaches heights of 15-30 cm with a width spanning 10-20 cm. While naturally fast-growing, CO2 supplementation may enhance its growth rate.
In compact, open aquariums, it has the tendency to extend beyond the tank boundaries, showcasing its captivating surface leaves. With finely branched foliage, this plant serves as a decorative element, offering a striking contrast to other leaf shapes. Under optimal lighting conditions, Ceratopteris thalictroides thrives and acts as a nutrient sponge, aiding in algae prevention by consuming substantial amounts of nutrients. These qualities render it an excellent choice for novice aquarists seeking to cultivate small aquariums.
This plant can be left floating on topwater of the aquarium and it will do fine! It is ideal for shrimp to hide in!
