What is the easiest floating plant?

You don't need to add CO2 for most floating plants since they take most of their CO2 from the air.

hmm i'm already getting a little bit of die off and some needles floating around, but the water they were in was slightly frozen when i got them home so that was expected. I dosed some leaf zone and they are hopefully going to be doing good under 15watts of light in a 10 gallon tank.

I'm also hoping to pick up some duckweed whenever i see some and some java moss or guppy grass.

Duckweed is the easiest BUT it will eventually takeover and clog your filtration!

Thats a pain in the azz i had it for 2 days and got tire of it still have a lottle floating in a divided side of the tank.

Elodea/Anacharis (same plant) grows like a weed even in very low light. In thick clumps it looks great but when you have it spread out everywhere, it looks trashy.

I haven't done anything for my Anacharis weed and in a month I've had to prune the one in my main tank .
I put the cuttings in my livebearer tank with the frill plants for(potential) fry to hide in last week they have branched already. My main also has a sword plant or two both types seem fine without any help at all except the light of course and the Anacharis weed will grow at the surface when it reaches the top of the water.
It also doesn't seem to mind floating I have one piece my poly wont leave be so I left it floating and it still grows just not as fast

Just remembered something duck weed is forbidden in some places as an invasive weed may be why the store did not have it

Another plant you can try is water sprite. There are several varieties and they can be grown floating or planted. They multiply quite readily and as they are larger than duckweed are not a headache to remove
