Amazing little Red Root Floaters!
These floaters along with some duckweed and pennywort make for the perfect little atmosphere for my Betta, Alfred. He is so content swimming and hanging out in the roots, making bubble nests in the openings. It makes for an amazing and majestic waterscape! Everything was shipped wonderfully as well, packaged very neatly! Thanks!!

Red root floater
This is a beautiful plant that I was really looking forward to having in my tank, yet when I received my floaters a lot of them were wilted and brown, still a good portion of the 4oz cup was usable the remaining floaters still add a nice look to my tank and my turtles love them. It’s a beautiful plant I just want to let anyone who’s interested in this one to be mindful of that. Thank you though “modern aquarium”

Best red root floaters anywhere!!
I have purchased red root floaters from 3 other online retailers and all were garbage. Been trying for months to find some quality red root floater. Best price, large quantity, fast shipping and arrived in excellent condition. Will never buy floaters anywhere else but I won’t need to since these are thriving!

Red Root Floater
Something went wrong with packaging this item. The cup lid was open, so whatever moisture was inside dried up and the plants arrived brown and shriveled. I'll have to re-order. Hopefully more secure packing next time. ---Modern Aquarium reply--- Our apologies for the mishap, please make sure to email us so we can send you replacement free of charge. Thank you for the reviews!

Red root floater
The plant was clean and nice. Looked very good. Some died through out the process after a week, but I have some doing just fine :)
