Description
Add lush volume and natural softness to your aquarium with Ceratopteris Thalictroides, commonly known as Water Sprite. This fast-growing aquatic fern is valued for its finely divided, feathery leaves that create a full and vibrant appearance in planted tanks. Highly adaptable, it can be grown rooted in the substrate or allowed to float freely, making it an excellent choice for improving water quality, providing shelter for fish and fry, and establishing a healthy, balanced aquarium environment.

Aquarium Plant Care Notice
For the safety of your fish and shrimp, we recommend quarantining newly purchased plants in a separate tank for at least 1 day before adding them to your main aquarium.
This helps reduce the risk of introducing residual pesticides or other unwanted substances that may be present on newly supplied plants.
Tip: Rinse the plants thoroughly with clean water before quarantine and monitor your livestock carefully after introducing them to the aquarium.
