15 Gallon Tank Can I introduce floating plants in a planted tank?

[ToOthleSS04]

I have a 15 g tall aquarium with otocinclus and corydoras, and some plants such as cryptocoryne and hygrophloia and Vallisneria. Should I introduce floating plants as well? If yes, which one?

I like frogbit cause I like long roots and it does well in my rock hard high ph water.

Your fish will like floaters because they like it shady. There are many to choose from, it's a question of which you like the looks of, and will it grow in your water.

Yeah but won't they cause problems with other plants beneath?

It's a factor in how quick they grow by blocking light, no doubt. I have crypts, vals, and anubius and they do ok. I have part of the tank with no floaters and a shady part with floaters. I fertilize once a week with an all in one liquid and every few months with root tabs.

Ok thanks!
