I've notice my betta's tend to spend a lot of time swimming around the
plants I add in their home. They also tend to become the center pieces for
the bubble nests. |

Top view of the dime sized leaflets of frogbit. These keep
the plant afloat and absorb needed light. On the underside we see sponge
like cells which enable this buoyancy and add thickness to the leaf. |

Here we see the delicate feathery roots that absorb nutrients form the
water and provide limited coverage for fish to swim around and shrimp to
cling to. |

a stem like root that branches out from it's feathery neighbor roots.
It's main function seems to be try and anchor the plant for permanently
into the ground where I assume it will take on additional nutrients and
growth. |

One becomes Two and Two become a cluster of Four. By sending small off
shoots out onto the surface and then growing into new plants which will
eventually separate completely. |
