    Guys does anyone know where I can get either frogbit or water lettuce? I'm trying to find a nice floating plant, duckweed is way too messy and the only thing I can ever find at a pet shop is hornwort. Help anyone?

    That plant is called Brazilian Pennywort. Also have a load of it. It grows really fast and easy.

    Water sprite can be grown floating and it looks really great. It's usually sold in its submersed from so look it up and familiarise yourself with that form so you can spot it in shops, then convert it to floating once you've got it!
