Aquarium Plants
Plastic Plants: They are not only
decorative, but are useful in spawning situations. If
angelfish lay eggs on a leaf, just remove it and hatch the
eggs artificially. After they hatch you can put the leaf
back on the stem. We use them most often in livebearer
tanks. We let them float in a bunch and the new-born fry find
it great to hide in. This is why we've chosen to carry
a lot of fine-leaf plants.
Real Live Plants: These are grown in our disease free tanks, so are safe to put into any of your aquariums. If you want these to go out in a fish order then order them through the Fish Store. Plants sent by UPS Ground or Priority Mail are not guaranteed, so be sure the weather is appropriate before ordering this way. We pack them well, but they will not handle freezing conditions or extreme heat for long.
Duckweed: Some look at this as a weed or a nuisance in an aquarium. We see it as an almost magic-like plant. It grows very rapidly, which means it's removing nitrates and phosphates at a high rate. It's a water purifier. It also helps slow or eliminated algae growth. Hornwort: This floating plant is in most of our lighted tanks. It is a very rapid grower and has all of the positive characteristics of duckweed. Cryptocoryne: One of the prettiest crypts. It grows fast and is very hardy. We plant ours in pots where they spread by runners. Each pot grows dozens of plants which each can easily be transplanted to grow and fill their own pots. Anubias: It is a slow growing plant, but very hardy and absolutely beautiful. It also does very well in bare-bottom tanks. Wedge it under some driftwood or a sponge filter and it will do great. Green-Plant Liquid Fertilizer: For those who want to give their plants a kick-start. Contains iron, nitrogen, potassium, boron manganese, calcium, zinc, magnesium and copper. Dose is one capful per 10 gallons, once a week. |
