What Would This Plant Have Been?

[lilacamy931]

I had a floating plant with gorgeous clumps of dark green leaves, spongey underneaths and long feathery roots into the water, I did have a good batch and then something went horrbily wrong and now looking for again but need to know the name!! Any help appreciated.

Dwarf water lettuce? or the other one which looks similar but with what appears to be "furry" leaves and they always manage to stay dry haha.

Edit: Link included Water lettuce

Those look the types, the leaves would get quite large, what are those???

Haha, change what you want then , I like them however I found mine...

Trapped a lot of poop/food in the roots and I was always afraid of trying to clean it without damaging the roots. In the end it got mashed up by the filter flow and an apple snail, it tore the roots right off.
