AQUARIUM

What are the benefits of having live plants in your fish aquarium?

Just looking to know the benefits of having plants in the aquarium with my fish. I have some oscars. Will I still have to do water changes? What do I need to know and what are the best plants to have? Thanks.

None…

90% of the time the plants die and the decaying leaves cause ammonia making tank conditions even worse.

you will have to do more changes than less

do your research because keeping plants is 10 times harder than keeping fish hence the attraction.

you need the right light, co2 level and liquid ferts…

if your up for the challenge then go for it…ask anyone with a heavly planted tank the fish in it are the last thing they care about….

java ferns, amazon swords and crypts are good beginner plants….

your tank will be twice the work not less work….

I’ve been keeping planted tanks for years…

its mad science getting the perfect balance of light, co2 and ferts..

one is off and all your grow is one of 6 types of algae…

good luck
