sorry for the kind of noob question but i know next to nothing about plants and was wondering which floating plants looks best? I dont want anything that gets tangled and looks like droopy or anything. So whats best looking in your guys opinions?

I like Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce), Phyllanthus fluitans and Limnobium laevigatum

Phyllanthus fluitans has really pretty roots and it one of the most liked in aquascaping

I'm going with Amazon Frogbit, as the roots underneath are relatively unobtrusive..

(Limnobium laevigatum)

Yeah there is alot of bang for the buck with that stuff.2 weeks ago 75% of the surface of my tank was covered.That was from just 3 parent plants I got 3 months ago.
