Plants give fish oxygen, remove small amounts of harmful substances in the water, provide a home for fry and other small animals. They also give the fish more security because of the hiding spots created by the plants. Plants will not replace maintenance and cannot be substituted for a filter. Some plants require intense lighting, while some do better in a low light environment, so be sure to research before you buy. Email me if you have any questions.

live plants are very good for your aquarium. They give off oxygen for your fish and absorb their wastes, nitrates, excess nutrients and are softer than the plastic plants that can rip fins open and cause body injuries. They do require good lighting, fertilizer in the tank and occasional pruning of dead veggitation to prevent your fish from getting sick off the decay. They also produce phosphates that in excess can make your fish sick but with regular water changes this can be controlled. Hope this helps :)

It incredibly relies upon on the form of plant. you may desire to do slightly examine to confirm in case you are able to experience it as much as any photos of stay, underwater flowers. there is likewise the possibility the plant is in the incorrect form of water or around the incorrect form of fish. What form of fish is in the tank, or are there any fish? The tank could be too warm or too chilly for that express plant, or if there are fish, they could have been ingesting/beating on it. There are some supplementations you will locate for underwater flowers as properly, in case you opt to pay the money.

Live plants are good because they provide oxygen for fish, like trees provide oxygen for humans.

Yes they are good because they provide oxygen for the fish. Also they make the fish calmer and fell happier because it provides shelter and it is like they're in their real habitat.

yes...but you must take care of the tank and clean it out every other week or so to make sure the plant is nourished enough

Plants are always good, unless they're carnivorous.
