Aquatic Plants Introduction

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

I know I do not talk about them much but I believe they make the fish tank just as pretty are aquatic plants and hands down real aquatic plants have 3 times the benefits of fake plastic aquatic plants.

I have 2 bunches of Amazon Swords in my 10 gallon fish tank and an Anubias nana in my 2 gallon fish tank. In which I have to trim once every 2 weeks since or when I change the water, since it gets a little big.

This is a background plant. Aquatic plants not only add beauty but also improve the water quality and add color to your aquarium. These plants absorb carbon dioxide and nitrates, and provide shelter and security for fish. The Amazon Sword can grow either fully or partially submerged in water. This plant does best when kept in groups as the background in larger tanks. Propagation occurs by plantlets and grows at a rate of 2-3 leaves per month.

This is a foreground or mid-ground plant. Aquatic plants not only add beauty but also improve the water quality and add color to your aquarium. These plants absorb carbon dioxide and nitrates, and provide shelter and security for fish. Anubias Nana has short dark green leaves and is a very slow growing, hardy swamp plant. This plant prefers to grow above or on the substrate which makes it great for covering rocks or driftwood. Propagation occurs by rhizome division.
