Water Sprite (Indian Fern)

Scientific Name: Ceratopteris thalictroides

Common Name: Water Sprite, Indian Fern, Water Hornfern

Water Sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides) is a highly adaptable aquatic fern native to tropical and subtropical regions across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Its finely divided, lace-like fronds contrast with broader-leaved plants, helping replicate the natural textures and sizes of aquatic plants. In blackwater and botanical method aquariums, this species thrives either rooted or free-floating, absorbing excess nutrients and providing refuge for fry and shrimp.

Often described as one of the most forgiving aquatic plants, Water Sprite grows rapidly in a variety of conditions, from shaded low-tech systems to well-lit, CO₂-enriched aquascapes. It plays a valuable ecological role by stabilizing nutrient levels, helping to reduce algae growth, and supporting the microbial community that develops among its fronds.

Many aquarists allow older, slightly browned leaves to remain intact, as they frequently produce small plantlets—a natural propagation process similar to Java Fern. Each mature frond may host multiple young plants that can be separated and replanted to establish new colonies.

Caring for Water Sprite in Blackwater Aquariums

Sold As: Both potted and bare root plants

Care Level: Easy; excellent for beginners

Lighting Requirement: Low–medium; higher light encourages faster vertical growth

CO₂: Not needed

Growth Rate: Fast; capable of filling the midground and surface zone

Tank Placement: Midground–background, or as a floating plant

Native Habitat: Asia and tropics worldwide; found in swampy forests, marshes, and slow-flowing rivers

Tint Tolerance: High; remains vigorous in tinted and humic-rich water conditions

Note: Some leaves may arrive with light browning—these are often fertile fronds carrying developing baby plants. We recommend leaving them attached until the plantlets are large enough to separate and replant.

zelda‘s “indoor” ⚽️ ball!
Color: Squeaky Green, Size: Medium Size 2 (6")
zelda loves her soccer ball - because of the fabric “tabs”, and the way she treats her toys, we keep it inside. she loves to place all of her toys and bones on our bed, after they’ve been cleaned. this ball is perfect and soft enough to throw it down our steps, where she will run down, retrieve it, and bring it back to the bed. it arrives deflated and comes with the pump and two needles - the pump is not the sturdiest and felt like it was not inflating, but after only having to reflate it once with a bit of air since receiving it ~5-6 months ago, it still holds up!

Small for a medium
Color: Red-Blue, Size: Medium Size 2 (6"), Color: Red-Blue, Size: Medium Size 2 (6")
I got medium.. and it does not look like a medium ball.. it’s rather small. It’s pretty sturdy and my dogs went crazy for it but it’s definitely not the size I thought it was going to be 😂 my dogs chewed one strap within 5 minutes of having it but they’re dogs and that’s what they do lol. I bought this to be an outside ball for them! It’s pretty light but that’s probably because it’s small. Not soft? But feels like a soccer ball. It also had no smell coming out of the box. Also comes with a pump and an extra thing to put in the ball to pump in case you lose one. I like these balls, I expect them to be chewed up because that’s what I bought them for! Fun for my dogs and they are! But the size… it is not medium and that’s the only reason for 3 stars 😂😂😂 Other then that I recommend, your dog will definitely love this! Inside or outside playing! Alone or with another dog!

Great toy for a GSD
Color: Blue Gray, Size: Extra Large Size 5 (9")
My GSD loves to grab the flaps and shake her head with the ball bouncing of the side of her head. This is her favorite toy. I thought she would puncture it but it has held up great since she likes to grab the flaps rather than biting the ball.
