🌿 Scientific Name: Ceratopteris siliquosa
🌿 Common Name: Fine Water Sprite
🌿 Type: Stem / Floating Plant
Ceratopteris siliquosa is a delicate, fast-growing aquatic plant known for its finely divided, lace-like leaves. It brings a soft, natural look to any aquarium while also acting as a powerful water purifier.
Perfect for shrimp tanks and community aquariums, this plant helps absorb excess nutrients, reduce algae, and create a safe, shaded environment for shrimp, fry, and microfauna.
It can be planted in substrate or left floating for a more natural, jungle-style aquascape.
Fast-growing and beginner-friendly
Excellent for improving water quality
Provides natural shelter for shrimp and fish fry
Can be grown floating or rooted
Soft, elegant texture enhances aquascapes
Approx. 5–7 inches (see photo for reference)
Healthy bunch with multiple stems
Lighting: Low to Medium (adapts easily)
CO₂: Not required
Growth Rate: Fast
Placement: Background / Floating
Temperature: 20–28°C
pH: 6.0–7.5
✅ Yes — highly recommended for shrimp tanks
Provides biofilm surface and hiding spots for baby shrimp
1 healthy bunch of Ceratopteris siliquosa
May be weighted or loose depending on stock
Rinse gently before adding to your aquarium
Some leaf melt may occur during transition (normal)
Will regrow quickly once established
Even though plants are washed before sending, I have snails and duckweed in my aquarium room so there is a small chance you may get a few hitchhiker.
