I'm stuck choosing a floating plant for my 20g tank and I need your help. Can't decide on just one, so I'll let you guys pick. Post your suggestions and I'll make a poll with all the options - the most voted one wins.

Water lettuce is alright, but those roots shed like crazy. I've got a soft spot for gkento4t salvinia though - it's a bit slower-growing than the common stuff, but the look is way cooler.

The gkento4t salvinia is awesome, I'm with juicebox on this one, that stuff looks sweet.

I'm the odd one out, but honestly, I've had zero luck with floating plants. Tried a bunch, and they all ended up as tank decor... at the bottom.

I've got Phyllanthus fluitans in both my tanks and it's a real grower - I'm talking handfuls to throw away every couple of weeks.

Ugh, it's driving me crazy. I fertilise almost every day, and my plants are doing fine, but those floating ones just vanish on me.

It's so frustrating, I fertilise almost daily and my plants are thriving, yet the floating ones just vanish.

haha yeah, I guess I do have a midnight snack habit... maybe my tank is just a little too convenient.
