Lomariopsis lineata is a species of fern native to South East Asia. The prothallia of this species (or possibly a closely related species) are commonly cultivated as an aquarium plant, where it is known to aquarists as süsswassertang (German spelling: Süßwassertang). It is often incorrectly spelled "subwassertang" due to the German eszett's similarity to the Latin 'B'. It is also called Loma fern or round pellia.
