Indian fern

It is a very good grower. I've got some in all my tanks, and the fish absolutely love it. Seems to grow in any sort of conditions.

You can plant it as well, or attatch it to things rather than having it all floating

i know the leaf structure changes when they are used as floating plants but they still dont look like Water Wisteria - Hygrophila difformis to me the leaves are way too big and not shaped enough thats what i think but could be wrong, here is images from google
