Water plants

Plants are beautiful additions to the tank. Right plant in the tank will help to create a perfect habitat for your fish. Establish and maintain freshwater plants from them is so simple and requires no special way to preserve them.

If you are the type of installation you choose to grow in the tank, we consider only the tank size. Small thoughts on the course would require a small species of plants. There are some plants that are heavily influenced by them as food for fish, or as nitrate and ammonia in the tank regulatory advantage.

Before the introduction of plants in the tank, it is safer to work for several days before inserting your main tank quarantine. Plants are like fish and can bear some uninvited guests such as parasites, snails, shrimp, and even bacteria, can harm fish. Carefully consider the investment in quarantine before being inside the tank.

The lighting is also essential for plant growth. Each type of facility would have different lighting conditions. Some plants are also without artificial light, if you have enough sunlight to filter through the window. If not, a good day would be a good and inexpensive source of light for your plants. But do not you put your tank in direct sunlight, since it would heat up the tank, and excessive algal growth.

Verify that your system is completely under water. Some plants would have to be associated with a bed of stone, before the establishment of roots. Other plants that do not have to be deep into the substrate, it is only a possibility, it is still in your fish or aggressive.

The best way to determine what type of plants you can put in the tank to see what the habitat is best for your fish. Consider the natural habitat for your fish in the wild and you get an idea of what type of facility would be most appropriate.
