Salvinia Cucullata, is a floating aquatic plant that reproduces very quickly and has a fast growing rate. Coming from Central and South America, this plant is beneficial for any aquarium as it consumes ammonia and nitrates while providing shade and shelter for smaller top dweller fish, and fry.
Salvinia Cucullata has green cup-like leaves and will form a 'carpet' on the surface of your aquarium.
Salvinia Cucullata is somewhat hard to find but a great option to substitute the more common Salvinia Minima.
