I added these to my Betta tank and they look stunning. The red roots are very noticeable and the plant floats perfectly without needing any substrate. My fish seem calmer now with the shade it provides.

Easy to use and beautiful. I didn’t have to do anything except place them on the surface. The leaves are soft and the red roots stand out well in the tank.

Perfect for a small nano tank. They grow slowly but steadily and add a natural look. My shrimp are not bothered by them and the water looks more balanced.
