This is because hornwort does not grow roots when planted in the substrate. Typically when you try to plant hornwort, the buried portion will rot away.

Salvinia Minima is definitely the way to go! It forms mat like sheets of foliage that stay clumped together unlike its unfortunate cousin. This makes it easy to remove, as well as it is less likely to get sucked into filters causing clogs and headaches.  It is a favorite amongst goldfish keepers as goldies tend to dislike its fuzzy texture and will leave it alone. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalvinia Minima is great to absorb excess nitrates in heavily stocked tanks, or provide shelter and shade to fish fry, and plants that prefer lower lighting. Floating plants like this prefer water with low surface disruption from bubblers or filters, so consider using floating rings to create pockets with no flow. It will propagate totally on its own, without any need for intervention. Simply scoop up and discard extras if your surface becomes overgrown.
