Redroot floaters
They are awesome. I have them in three of my tanks. The roots were long and they were very green. I have them with some parrots/cichlids and afraid they were going to be eaten but they have not. hopefully they will flourish and even flower for me.

Looks great! My guppy fry are loving hiding in it, and it adds something to the top layer of the tank!

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”
