Hornwort - Ceratophyllum demersum - this one's so easy, you don't even have to plant it! A branching stem plant with very fine, stiff, needle-like leaves, Hornwort develops no roots and simply floats at the surface of the aquarium.
The tank has a thick layer of plants on the surface (Lemna minor and Ceratophyllum demersum) and a lot of bogwood which is a paradise for the fish but not for me in this case.
I've recently acquired some Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum), a plant which I've mentioned before has numerous advantages for the aquarist, particularly one interested in raising fry, but which has some disadvantages too.
Late Note: The plant Ceratophyllum Demersum, commonly known as 'Hornwort', produces an excretion that discourages algal growth. Worth adding to any tank either planted or just floating in the water as it may assist too.
