Red Root Floaters

Vibrant Color. Zero Effort. Instant Impact.

Red Root Floaters (Phyllanthus fluitans) are one of the most visually striking floating plants in the aquarium hobby — and one of the easiest to keep. Their deep crimson undersides and bright green tops create a stunning two-tone canopy that transforms any tank into something truly eye-catching.

Why Aquarists Love Them

• Brilliant red coloration intensifies under high light
• Fast-growing — naturally outcompetes algae by absorbing excess nutrients
• Provides natural shade and shelter for fish and shrimp
• No substrate needed — just float and watch them thrive
