Care Tips: Ceratopteris thalicroides, also known as Water Sprite, is a fast-growing and easy-to-care-for aquatic fern. It thrives in moderate to high light and can be planted or left floating in the tank. This plant benefits from CO₂ supplementation, although it's not strictly necessary. It helps provide natural filtration in the aquarium while offering shelter for small fish and shrimp.
