Red Root Floater (Phyllanthus Fluitans) - 4 oz Cup

These plants seem to be a solid favorite for my baby common snapping turtle. I always find floating leaves with the roots munched away. It is consistently a go to food source for my baby snapper and am ordering more. They actually last a long time if stored in another container with some water so I've got through them and not had to worry about them dying off too early.

I bought 2 of the 4 ounce cups and was worried about the quality due to not having many roots. Instead of jumping to conclusions, I put them in the tank and gave it time before writing a review. Glad I did. Those two cups multiplied quickly enough that my 55 gallon top (48x13) is now covered to the point where I'm already having to remove due to overcrowding. Only took a month. And the long red roots are coming in beautifully underneath. They haven't quite turned their red color, but I know there are other factors that need to come into play before this happens. They are blooming with little white flowers, though. Either way, if you're looking for a great canopy that your fish and shrimp are going to love, get you a cup or two of these and let'em go. Highly recommend.

At first I thought I had been sent a bowl of Brussel Sprouts. But then the fern warmed up and I had a beautiful "sea" of green on top of the water. All the plants were packed with great care with plenty of room so they were not all smooshed up like my prior vendor! I will definitely be a repeat customer of Modern Aquarium in the future! I'd be a fool not to be!

Received these cuties quick and in healthy condition! Will definitely order again!!

Mine were just okay. They were in the worst condition in the shipment of nine plants. Not bad, but somewhat dried out and unhappy. They're doing well now though.

My 4 oz cup came packed full of red root floater plants! However, as a month has passed, I have lost quite a bit of my floaters. They're very pretty, but the roots can get tangled easily in taller plants as my filter pushes them around in the water quite a bit.

Just received my order and wow. So far so good. In such great shape and well packaged. Followed directions and they look so awesome floating in my tank. Fingers crossed they thrive

Thank You!

Arrived fast. Packaged very well. Received plenty of little plants and a massive root with several leaves.they have been in my aquarium for only three days so fingers crossed they start to spread. It appears they've started to produce new leaves already.Very happy with the purchase thus far . Beautiful little plants.

I’m new to aquascaping so after much research of fast growing floating plants I discovered I couldn’t find any locally. I discovered many aquarium online plant stores but chose Modern Aquarium because their reviews were so incredible. I ordered red root floaters and received incredibly healthy amount of them. I loved them so much I ordered more. I am excitedly waiting to receive a big order of live plants in the next day or so. I can’t say enough about their amazing live plants and their wonderful service. Thank you Modern Aquarium!

The plants were very healthy!! There were a couple of dead leaves in the cup but very few. And they were packed in there pretty well so you get plenty in one cup. My shrimp and betta fish like hanging out in the roots.

Healthy plant and plenty of them!!
