    Hi, need help to ID this pretty floating plant which I brought back from Thailand recently and has been flourishing in my tank. The ones on the fringe are Amazon Frogbits for comparison in size.

    I have Savinia Natans too and several other Salvinia spp, but this one looks and grows quite differently. It propagates by sending out runners to start other rosette-kind of plantlets.

    Looks like young water lettuce to me. If you can post pics of their roots in water that could help to confirm their identity.

    My Salvinia Natans propagate the same way by runners, and also among the rosettes.
