Which plant live in fresh water?

Answer 1

It depends what you mean by 'in' - mangroves are about the only plants to live in salt water (other than alge - seaweed etc.); aquatic plants (pond weed etc.) and lillies etc. actually live perminantly in fresh water (as in water in ponds etc.), but there are many species that live in water logged (generally anaerobic if this is for something for school) conditions - reeds, mosses, sundew, bog cotton, heather, birch; and most plants can survive in fresh water for some time (the problem is that their roots need air and also can rot if they're there for too long). If you look at outside the uk, one of the most abundant species on our planet - rice - is often grown in water (73% of world rice yield is grown in paddy fields), and think about other areas where there's lots of biological diversity and lots of fresh water - the amazon river has a hudgely diverse flora - many species of plants in different plant families live there, and add to that some of the areas of forest (hudge areas!) are flooded up to 8 months of the year. What you need to remember is that all life needs oxygen, so plants that live in the water need to be able to get plenty of air all the way down to their roots - the most common way is to take air from above the water through special tissue that's a bit like a straw, called airenchyma, but there are different stratergies too. Anyway, I'd better stop or I will go on all night - hope that helps a bit! x

Answer 2

It depends on your current setup. ALL plants need light, but some require more intense lighting like Swords. If you use fertilizers and CO2, you will greatly increase the types of plants you can keep. Some of the easiest low light plants are Java Moss, Java Fern, Cryptocorynes (susceptible to Crypt melt, just let them be for a week or two and you will see them grow back), Dwarf Sag, Water Sprite, Tiger Lotus, Anubias sp., Vallisneria, and Elodea. These will all tolerate lighting that comes standard with aquarium kits (but higher light is better). Email me if you have any questions. Soop Nazi EDIT: Be VERY wary at the pet store, many stores (Petco, Petsmart, Walmart, and even some local fish stores) may try to sell you terrestrial plants like Bamboo, Mondo Grass, Pine branches, or Plam fronds. All of these will soon rot in an aquarium though, fouling the water.
