Frogbit Floating Aquarium Plant, Round Mini Lily Pad Form for Small Indoor Tank Surfaces and Algae Shading

Frogbit is a floating aquarium plant that creates a tidy mini lily pad effect across the water’s surface. Its nearly circular leaves measure around one inch in diameter and have a thicker texture than the leaves of a dwarf lily or red tiger lotus.

Unlike duckweed, frogbit stays together as one unit, making it easier to remove when it begins blocking too much light. Its symmetrical form is especially well suited to smaller indoor aquarium setups.

By floating at the surface, the plant has direct access to atmospheric carbon dioxide and light that does not need to travel through the water. Its surface coverage may also be useful in a tank experiencing an algae problem.

Key Features

• Round, nearly symmetrical leaves create a compact mini lily pad appearance.
• Floating growth form allows convenient removal when excessive surface coverage blocks light.
• Each leaf is around one inch in diameter and has a relatively thick, durable texture.
• Stays together as one unit instead of spreading through the aquarium like duckweed.
• Can cover a useful amount of surface area in a relatively short time.
