🌿 Hornwort – Fast-Growing Oxygenator for Natural Aquariums
Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) is one of the best floating or free-rooting plants for low-tech, dirted tanks. Known for its bushy, feathery texture and rapid growth, Hornwort pulls waste from the water, oxygenates the tank, and provides excellent cover for shrimp and fry — all without the need for CO₂, fertilizers, or root tabs.
Grown naturally using the Father Fish method, this hardy stem plant requires no special substrate and thrives in nearly any freshwater environment.
