Ceratopteris pteridoides
Entity overview
The profile uses floating growth behavior alongside floating placement tags.
For entity matching, taxonomy contributes genus Ceratopteris, family Pteridaceae, order Polypodiales, and major group Angiosperms.
The profile also carries aliases for Ceratopteris cornuta Ceratopteris froesii.

Water parameter context
Available aquarium parameters show temperature 22–28 °C, pH 5–8, KH 0–21 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.
For this profile: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
For dosing context, nutrient ranges include nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Aquarium tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
Care data interpretation
For tank planning, care values include medium difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
Emersed growth appears as a supported profile value.
