Plants
The water lily, and aponogeton undulates, and
kio, are usually used in an outdoor environment, because of their size, they are not really

and dricca, are really good; they make a safe nest for the young fish that need to protect
themselves in their early stages of their life.
Another consideration is live plant called
Rhizomes, the stem is very thick, with leaves that develop on the top. As they the mature and
leaves grow as it runs over the surface of the water.
Anubias, and African fern, are related to the
Rhizomes, and a simple task to plant, it’s just a question of attaching them to the existing
driftwood in your aquarium.
A very popular plant is the Rosette, it is
shaped like a crown, with the roots growing underneath, and the leaves overhead, they germinate by
the distribution of runners. Amazon sword, and sagittaria, also produces amazing
flowers.
In the family of aquatic plants the Java Moss
is very popular, and you may be familiar with the term of Java fern, this is a good first choice it
can survive in lots of different ph levels of water, and is a fairly heavy
plant.
The water wisteria is a good choice if you are
just starting out, it grows very rapidly, and it can assist in containing the algae content in your
aquarium. A word of caution, it has the capability of taking the nutrients from the
water.

love this plant almost anybody would be successful in growing this plant, it has the ability to
continue to exist in almost any situation, plus it’s very pleasing to the eye. The flowers are
below the surface, and most fish won’t eat it. A smart move would be to assign it to a tree root or

cryptocoryne beckettii is a challenge however, this plant is very flexi able and grows in
