Need an easy floating plant

[Dooboedoo12]

I have 2 African spears but they aren't talk enough for my gourami. I was wondering what a good plant would be that would float on top so he can have some cover

Hornwort is an extremley easy floating plant that is pretty attractive and is great for added cover!

floating water sprite is really nice...

Easiest, but a lot of people consider it an eyesore is duckweed and also water sprite. Java moss is another good one

I like Frogbit too - roots dangling down look very cool.

I like frogbit as well. My favorite is banana plant though. Under the right conditions, it will shoot up lillies. A note about duckweed - very fast growing and difficult to get rid off. It will shadow a tank very quickly if it gets out of hand.

Can't go wrong with frogbit or dwarf water lettuce. Just make sure there isn't a ton of surface agitation.

From looking online I like the dwarf water lettuce. Anyone know a good site to buy it from?

I agree on the frogbit and water lettuce. I use frogbit in my 55g nano fish tank and it is very attractive and easy to control.

It will provide some shade for your fish and looks terrific...

But don't put it on your salad
