Aquarium Plants

A few clips I gathered of my own aquarium plants.
These are among the hardiest, easiest plants to keep in your tank.

Plants should be part of any freshwater tank (with the exception of Cichlid tanks)
They are beneficial to both the fish and the water in your aquarium.
They also look nice and provide safety and shade to tired or scared fish.

Enjoy

You should get a tiger lotus and add some red to the tank. Wal-Mart sells the bulbs.

Awesome! I'm going to use a lot of these plants :). Do you use soil? How do you fertilize and maintain the plants? Thanks! I'll be putting them in my ten gallon tropical tank :D.

@escottish140 Im quarantining plants at the moment, and they cam from my pond. They were covered in blanket weed and probably loads of diseases which my fish got. I have just put some chemical in called "fish safe" from interpet. it will treat disease. however the blanket weed i had to hand remove which was very time consuming considering the amount that was there. Ive never had snail problems, but if i did, i would just spend a long time hand picking them off. i dont know another solution

Question: I quarantine my plants for three before adding them to the established tank because majority of the time they're covered with pond snails. I've tried treating them with snail remover (or ick remover) and concentrated sea salt, depending on the plant, however the majority of the plants don't live through the treatments. Is there anything you recommend?

You have beautiful Angels! Would you say that most of these, namely the Rotella, are at their "talleast" in the 1st tank? I have a 35 gal Hex, so it's very tall/deep. Also, what do you prefer for a planting media & do you mess w/ CO2 at all?

Thanks-
