Are live plants good for your fish tank2007-11-24 23:10:03

I have a live plant and I dont know if my fish like it or not please help

Answers:

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

---

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

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.

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 :)

Plants are always good, unless they're carnivorous.
