Red root floaters

[Bk718]

Havent posted any photos in a while so today took the camera and decided to take some decent shots of the floaters. Floaters include Frogbit/duckweed and my favorite red root
Amazing how fast the red root spreads after it gets used to the tank.

Enjoy

I cant wait to send yours out lol My tank is hella dark right now with all the plants.
Keeping them healthy? hmm when i first got mine (4-5 tiny pieces) they all lost the roots and somewhat melted. Eventually i noticed new leaves spouting but they were all green and there were no red roots. After a few months the plants started to grow small roots and would get pinkish. The more the plant matures, the more pink it gets. Very awesome plant
Give it good light, tank with good nutrient supply and it will spread fast (make sure there isnt 2 much surface movement)

Sweet photos, Yuriy. The plants are beautiful.

(Now where am I going to put those?)

You're so good to me, Yuriy. I really do want them, too. If nothing else, it's an excuse to set up another tank. Flimsy excuse, maybe.. but good enough for me.
