Advisable Aquarium Plants Function and Design
Aquatic plants for a healthy aquarium without algae
The first impression of an aquarium derives certainly stronger by its vegetation as by its fish stocking. In addition, a good growth of aquarium plants is often the critical factor for the functioning of an aquarium. The plants remove water pollutants, provide oxygen for the respiration of the fish and are the best prevention for algae. Although it is possible to run aquariums with few or without plants, a good vegetation facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the aquarium significantly. In an other article, I described a favorable set up, which leads to a healthy plant growth in aquarium. Here I would like to introduce the plants that have established themselves in my tanks because of their simple culture, their forms and colors, their functionality and not at least by their beauty as my standard plants.
