Plants for Fish Tank
Plants may help improve the look of your fish tank, but did you also provide fish with a great place to spawn and hide? Not only are fish tank decorative plants, which really helps keep the aquarium water healthy for fish, reducing the level of carbon dioxide.
The key to plant growth in the fish tank is the lighting. Most plants require high light levels and whether they tried to put the plants in the tank only to have them wither and die after a few weeks, this is probably the reason. It is a simple matter of getting a bright bulb to the tank and you can have lush green plants that give your aquarium a natural look.
Planting natural aquarium plants is easy. Most plants will purchase a root system that must be planted in the substrate. Grasp the tip of the root of the plant between his thumb and forefinger while making a little hole in the substrate with the fingers free. Gently push the roots down into the hole and hold in place while swooshing back of the substrate cover the root ball. Rootless plants can be planted in the same way, instead of pushing the roots into the gravel drive at the bottom of the stems in.
There is Many different types of aquarium plants available at your local pet store or even on sale here on the Internet. Here is a list of some of the aquarium plants popular.
Amazon Sword
Amazon Sword (Echinodorus amazonicus (bleheri)) has long narrow leaves that ripple flowing current. This plant can grow to 50 cm tall. It requires good lighting and fertilization so is a little harder to maintain than most plants. If given the right environment, however, can be a rapid growth, sending outbreaks of play. It prefers aquarium temps of around 30 degrees C. with a pH of 5.5 9.
Anubias Anugustifolia
Although the name is a mouthful, this plant is really pretty, with long narrow leaves. This is a great plant to keep in your aquarium if you have a lot of herbivorous fish, since they do not eat it. You do not need a lot of light is so easy to grow in most aquariums. This plant is slow growing but will reach 15 cm. He likes temperatures between 20 and 30 C and a pH of 5.5 to 8.
Moneywort
Moneywort (Bacopa monnieri) is another plant that is easy to grow in most fish tanks. It has a long stem with small leaves in pairs all along the length. This plant is a pretty good investment as you can propagate from cuttings and then planting rights in the aquarium. It makes as much light and a pH of 6-9 in a tank that is between 15 and 30 degrees C. Given the right conditions, this plant to grow to 30 centimeters.
Wisteria
Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis) does not seem nothing to the vine that grows in your yard, but is a wonderful aquarium plant with large leaves of oak.

Plant Wisteria in a tank that has a pH between 5 and 9 with temps between C. 22 and 30
Java Moss
This aquarium plant is different from the rest because it has a more moss and actually almost resembles corals in the way it grows. It adheres to rocks or wood in the tank and mossy tendrils extend upward to a height of 5 cm. Requiring minimal light, this is one of the plants easiest to grow. Water conditions are tolerated, but prefers temps of 15 to 28 C. This plant can be a slow start, but is very sturdy.

What benefits are derived from plants live my fish in your tank?
I have 2 goldfishes ryukin in a 20 gallon tank. You filter and 2 plants alive.
well that sometimes you can even snack on it. makes the aquarium look more natural than a normal tank with only a filter and sand. the living plants makes the fish more comfortable in the tank. if by chance, the goldfish lay eggs, babies are born and can hide in the plants for parents do not eat. I personally love the live plants much more than artificial plants. I think they are one of the most important thing that could put in your tank. and once then a hitchhiker snail could jump in your tank. ramshorns are better known for that.
