Floating aquatic plants are a popular type of aquarium plant. These aquarium plant species are typically delicate in appearance and sit on the water's surface. Floating aquarium plants provide numerous benefits to planted aquariums or hybrid enclosures with aquatic sections. These lily-like plants provide a natural source of filtration by absorbing excess nutrients via robust root systems while simultaneously adding extra coverage to reclusive aquatic livestock. These types of aquatic plants are commonly used in breeding tanks, indoor/outdoor ponds and freshwater aquariums. With a variety of popular floating aquarium plants available, the assorted floating plant bag provides a variety to try out!

This listing comes with 8-10 individual random aquatic floating plants. Photos depict species you may or may not receive.

Aquarium plants can vary in growth form and may require time to transition to your aquarium environment, whether grown submerged or emersed. This transition period is a natural part of establishing healthy, long-term growth in planted aquariums.

From carpeting plants in the foreground to stem plants and larger species used in the midground or background, each plant offers a unique contribution to a balanced and natural aquascape. As plants adapt, it is normal to see minor changes such as leaf melt, color shifts, or new growth patterns as they settle into their new conditions.

We carefully inspect and prepare all live aquatic plants prior to shipping. While we do our best to minimize hitchhikers, we cannot guarantee plants to be completely pest or snail-free unless tissue culture options are selected.

Because live plants are perishable, some signs of transit stress may occur, including leaf loss or cosmetic damage. These are typically temporary and when when healthy roots are present, most plants will recover with proper care.

Floating Aquatic Plant Care & Information

Do you like aquarium floaters? We do! Having them offers plenty of benefits. Aside from looks, floating aquatic plants like Azolla, Salvinia, Frogbit, Red Root Floaters, Water Lettuce or even Duckweed can help improve the quality of your water and make your fish feel a little safer in their tanks. Caring for them comes down to tank maintenance, balancing light, flow and ensuring they have a source of nutrients for healthy growth. Here are some tips to help you grow some healthy floaters!

How much light do floating plants need?

Since they literally float in natural sunlight—most aquarium floaters grow best with high light. For most tanks kept indoors, moderate to high lighting for 8-10 hours under quality LED fixtures will do the trick. Be mindful though and monitor your plants. Lighting that is too strong or kept on for too long can cause an algae bloom that will be a different issue to tackle.

Do floaters need fertilizers?

Live aquatic plants, in general, help with water filtration. Floaters especially! You’ll notice almost all of them send down long roots that are responsible for absorbing available nutrients in the water to support their growth above the waterline. If you frequently perform water changes or have a tank with a smaller bioload, dosing with a liquid fertilizer that contains macro and micronutrients will ensure your plants don’t become nutrient-deficient. Look for signs of stunted growth or yellowing leaves.

Maintenance and water flow

If you’re doing it right, you’ll know. Floating plants have a reputation for being very fast-growing plants. Whether you love it or hate it, regular thinning is necessary to prevent other aquarium plants from being overly shaded. Allowing overgrowth can result in dense mats that clog filters or hide decaying plant matter that can affect water quality down the line. Provide your floaters with gentle flow—anything too strong can cause damage. Luckily, there are many filter attachments or baffles that are designed to diffuse flow!
