Question floating plant


I have a small (35L) but well planted (live plants) tank.
Was wondering whats a good floating plant to use in my tank to provide more shade to my Serpae Tetra, whom I believe like well shaded tanks.

IME a well planted tank is key for these guys. I try to stay away from floating plants because of shading issues for a lot of my other plants. I have had a school of Serpaes in my 75 for years. They are a beautiful little fish.
