Amazon Frogbit (Limnobium laevigatum) – Easy Floating Plant for Natural Aquariums

Amazon Frogbit (Limnobium laevigatum) is one of the most popular floating plants in aquariums due to its ability to create a natural, shaded environment while helping maintain water quality. With its round, bright green leaves and long trailing roots, Frogbit adds beauty and functionality to freshwater tanks. It is widely used in aquascaping, shrimp breeding tanks, and community aquariums where it provides cover, reduces algae growth, and offers a natural refuge for fish and fry.

Originating from South and Central America, Frogbit is hardy, fast-growing, and adaptable to a variety of water conditions. Whether you are a beginner hobbyist or an experienced aquascaper, this floating plant is an excellent choice for creating a natural, balanced aquatic ecosystem.

Appearance & Use

Frogbit grows as small, floating rosettes with bright green, oval-shaped leaves on the water’s surface. Beneath the leaves, long, feather-like roots extend deep into the water, providing shelter for shrimp, fry, and small fish.

This floating plant is ideal for:
• Shading aquariums to reduce algae growth.
• Providing natural cover and security for fish.
• Shrimp and fry tanks, where roots serve as hiding and feeding areas.
• Aquascapes that aim for a natural pond-like appearance.

Its dense root systems also act as a biofilter, absorbing excess nutrients and improving water quality.

Why Choose Frogbit (Limnobium laevigatum) ?
• Fast-growing floating plant that shades and stabilizes aquariums.
• Naturally reduces algae by blocking excess light and absorbing nutrients.
• Provides excellent cover for fish, shrimp, and fry.
• Helps oxygenate and balance water quality.
• Easy to grow and maintain without special equipment.

Care Guide
• Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is best, though Frogbit can adapt to a wide range of light levels. Too little light may cause smaller leaves.
• CO₂ and Fertilizer: Not required. However, liquid fertilizers rich in micronutrients help sustain healthy growth.
• Water Parameters:
• pH: 6.0–7.5
• Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water
• Temperature: 20–30°C (68–86°F)
• Propagation: Frogbit propagates easily by producing runners and daughter plants. Simply separate new rosettes and let them float freely.
• Placement: Floating plant – no substrate required. Ensure surface agitation is gentle to prevent leaves from being submerged.

Common Issues and Solutions
• Leaves Turning Yellow: Often caused by nutrient deficiency – add liquid fertilizer.
• Melting or Rotting: Usually happens if leaves stay wet due to excessive splashing or high surface agitation. Keep leaves dry.
• Overgrowth: Frogbit grows quickly; remove excess plants to prevent blocking too much light from reaching submerged plants.
