| From Tropica: |
This plant normally grows fast, but the addition
of CO2 may be necessary to promote growth. In small open aquariums
it can grow out of the aquarium and form beautiful surface leaves.
The finely branched leaves are very decorative and provide good
contrast to other leaf shapes. In good light Ceratopteris thalictroides
grows fast and helps prevent algae by consuming large amounts
of nutrients. This makes it a good starter plant in small aquariums.
