CERATOPTERIS CORNUTA – Easy Floating Fern for Breeding and Aquascaping Aquariums
Ceratopteris cornuta is a delicate and easy-to-grow aquatic fern, often used in breeding tanks thanks to its functional and ornamental value. Floating on the water surface, its broad leaves provide ideal shelter, particularly for labyrinth fish like Bettas that use them to build bubble nests.
This fern is perfect for aquarists seeking a low-maintenance yet visually appealing plant. Under good lighting and with CO₂ supplementation, it develops sturdy fronds. It reproduces naturally through adventitious plantlets that form beneath the emerged leaves, which can then be planted in the substrate.
