Antler Fern
Portion Size
2-3 baby plants (around 3cm in diameter).
Description
Antler fern provides shelter for the aquarium inhabitants and is well accepted by labyrinth fishes for their foam nests.
Ceratopteris pteridoides, being a floating aquarium plant, requires good lighting to thrive. The ideal temperature is between 18 and 30 degrees Celsius. It is a great plant that will absorb nitrates and excess nutrients in the water column.
This fern may grow fairly huge in a short amount of time if conditions are favorable. If the leaf rosettes have grown too large for the tank, they can be replaced with any of the many new plantlets that grow on old, detached leaves.
