Live plants not only look great in an aquarium, but they also provide other benefits. They help with additional filtration, provide the water with oxygen, absorb some of the carbon dioxide created by fish, remove nitrates, combat algae growth and will provide cover for your fish. This will also help maintain good water quality and keep your fish happy and healthy.

Here are some of the basic thing’s aquarium plants need to survive and grow. Aquarium plants will need certain nutrients and conditions in order to live. If you want to grow a planted aquarium you will need to know what those things are and do your best to achieve them in your own aquarium.

There are four main things that the plants need in order to live. Water, light, food, and carbon dioxide.
