Ceratophyllum Demersum 'Foxtail' (Submersed)
Ceratophyllum Demersum 'Foxtail' is a fast-growing and highly versatile aquarium plant known for its soft, feathery foliage and dense bushy growth. Its vibrant green appearance and flowing texture make it an excellent background or floating plant for planted aquariums, shrimp tanks, and natural-style aquascapes.
As a hardy and adaptable aquarium plant, Foxtail is perfect for beginners and helps absorb excess nutrients while providing excellent cover for fry and shrimp. This submersed-grown specimen arrives already adapted to underwater aquarium conditions, allowing for easier transition and instant aquascape impact.
At N8 Aquatics, our plants are carefully quarantined before sale to help ensure they arrive healthy, clean, and pest-free.

Emersed vs Submersed — Which Grown Form Should You Choose?
Submersed plants are grown fully underwater and are already adapted to aquarium life, so they settle into a planted tank with minimal melt — the best pick for aquascapes and established aquariums.
Emersed plants are nursery-grown above the waterline, ideal for terrariums, paludariums and wabi-kusa. Submerged in an aquarium they typically melt back and regrow as submersed foliage — more so in low-tech tanks without added CO2 — but recover well with good lighting and nutrients.
