Lace Leaf Water Sprite is one of those plants I instinctively reach for when I set up a fry tank. It's a larger plant that grows a great root system, but grows better floating in the water column!
I just plop mine in a new tank, and it quickly spreads and unfurls a veritable riot of branches and roots-- the perfect shelter for growing fry!
You can, of course, plant (Ceratopteris siliquosa) should you wish to. I'd place it towards the back/ middle of your aquascape.
In favored conditions, Water sprite loves to grow new baby ferns right along its older leaves! pinch these off once they start growing roots, and you'll have new Water Sprites!
One order is for one 3" tall rosette; plant varies in it's natural state.
Growing requirements:
- 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit
- Ph 6-8
- Low to Medium light intensity.
- Grows 6-18" tall
- Quick growth
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
