Awesome! Just on problem! No biggie
Posted by Ricky Meadows on 26 Feb 2022Grows amazingly and looks awesome, especially when grown under high intensity lights it pulls out more of that burgundy color in the leaf, the only reason i did not give it 5 stars was beacuse of how well it grew, in one week it took over the whole top of my 55gal aquarium but it was very easy to remove. Perfect for beginners.

Red Root Floater
Posted by G Conrad on 16 Feb 2022I just placed my first order with Modern Aquarium, and I am very pleased. All the plants were good sized and healthy. If these plants don't make it, it's one me, not them. The Red Root Floater is one of my favorites.

Red Root Floater
Posted by Chris on 10 Feb 2022A fantastic addition to the tank!! There is plenty of light getting through but the appearance at the top makes the tank look more like a quit pool on the side of a flowing stream!!!

Great quality upon Delivery
Posted by Scott Madrigal-Silver on 19 Jan 2022I live in Alaska so the fact they were able to send these plants from Florida to my state in one piece is honestly impressive. Delivery is as fast as I could have expected and my floaters got to me alive (all be it a little drier than I would have liked, but I understand the difficulty of transport). Will probably be ordering more from here.

Fantastic!
Posted by Unknown on 4 Jan 2022Plants arrived healthy and intact. Only lost 2 small plants through the winter travels! They are adapting nicely to my 10 gallon betta tank and are starting to grow! I'm excited to see when they flower!
