- We do take steps to rinse plants to rid them of any snails or duckweed, but it's always possible that some sneak by.

Amazon Frogbit features thick, round leaves that float gently on the surface, providing a lily pad–like aesthetic. Its roots can grow several inches long, creating a dense curtain that fish and shrimp love to explore. This plant is well-suited for aquarists looking for easy to grow aquarium plants that can help control algae, soak up excess nutrients, and provide surface shade.
Common Uses
Amazon Frogbit is a favorite among hobbyists for its versatility and visual impact. It’s ideal for reducing light penetration in tanks where algae is an issue, and its large leaves make it a great cover plant for shy fish, shrimp, or fry. The plant’s extensive root system offers excellent shelter and can even be used in breeding setups where gentle cover is essential.
Because it grows quickly and thrives without CO₂ injection, Amazon Frogbit is often recommended as one of the best easy to grow aquarium plants for beginners. It’s equally at home in community tanks, shrimp tanks, betta tanks, and peaceful aquascapes.
Please Note: Due to agricultural regulations, we are unable to ship Amazon Frogbit to California. Orders placed with California shipping addresses will be refunded for this item.
