Floater: duckweed in terms of self replication %; water lettuce in terms of volume
Epiphyte: riccia, followed by java moss
Stem: hornwort or green cabomba? not enough experience to know
The fastest I've had in my tanks is Anacharis. By floating it instead of planting it, more of the plant is exposed to the light. I keep mine in moderate light and growth is extremely fast. My tanks are low tech, no CO2 or anything fancy.
My dwarf aquarium Lillys also grow like weeds. I'm pulling 4-6 pads off each plant a week. They took a while to get going the first one took almost a month the second one took almost 6 months.
I know I trimmed them last week, had to trim them again last night because they were all curled over the glass. give these plants what they need and I swear you can almost see them growing.
My Water sprite is now fully 50% of a 20g long in about 3 weeks growth from a standard pot-sized plant. It grew 2-3 inches above the waterline overnight last night.
Water lettuce is fast growing, but requires a good amount of light. Duckweed is fast growing and can be kept in low tech conditions. Hygrophila polysperma is a fast growing stem plant that does very well in low tech conditions.
