Ceratopteris Cornuta AKA Indian Fern

Common Name: Water Sprite

Broad-leaf Water Sprite, also known as Ceratopteris Cornuta, is a traditional species of aquatic plant that is frequently encountered in the hobby. This aquatic fern has a rapid rate of growth and helps remove extra nutrients from the water column. Breeders and shrimp keepers love it for its branchy leaves and easy-going temperament, and the plant offers lots of protection and comfort for fry and shrimplets. Water Sprite is renowned for being tolerant to harsher water, despite the fact that softer water is favored. Although CO2 infusion is not necessary, it will accelerate growth and improve general health.
