Red root floaters are a floating fern know for their unique red roots.  They are an easy plant that spreads quickly.  They do best in aquariums and ponds with low flow and if left alone can quickly cover the surface of the water.  Red root floaters provide great hiding spots for more timid fish.  They are also a great for oxygenation and denitrification in your aquarium.  Higher light will cause leaves to take on a more red color and medium light will result in more green leaves.
