 * Elodea** - The elodea is a light bright green. This plant floats in the water at the top of the aquarium. The elodea has no visible roots. The elodea has flat rounded leaves that grow out from every direction on the stem. The leaves grow all the way down the stem so that it is difficult to see the stem.
