This plant normally grows fast, but the addition of CO2 may be
necessary to promote growth. In small open aquariums it can grow out of the
aquarium and form beautiful surface leaves. The finely branched leaves are very
decorative and provide good contrast to other leaf shapes. In good light
Ceratopteris thalictroides grows fast and helps prevent algae by consuming
large amounts of nutrients. This makes it a good starter plant in small
aquariums.
