Low Light Floating Plants

[kizno1]

What types of floating plants will do well low light levels? And that dont need CO2 system.

funny but I was just about to post something similar, any help appreciated

i have this in my tank,you can plant it in substrate or use it as a floating plant,not too sure about the light,i don't have co2 in my tank and it grows great,google it and have a look.

cheers

They look quite nice. How many hours a day do you have your tank light on? Are the fast or slow growing?

 

[scotty]

i have my lights on for about 8hrs a day,if you check out the plants for sale there is some pics of it growing in my tank,it grows fairly quickly.

cheers

People say frogbit, I added some a few days ago, doesn't seem to be taking hold at all

If they are floating then presumably they will be on the surface of the water where light intensity is highest. So there's no such thing as a low-light floating plant. Plants such as Frogbit etc can obtain CO2 from the atmosphere. That just leaves nutrients to worry about. In which case if any problems arise then it's down to lack of nutrients or lack of water flow.
