is it really necessary to have live plants in my fish aquarium
natural plants help reduce the nitrate levels too. not much but some.
They look a lot better than plastic plant for sure.
it is a pain to buy plant and have them die a month later because of their requirements. however there are some plants that'll live in a low lighting, poor substrate, low co2 tank.
java ferns are great. and java moss.
no
No but it does help put oxygen in the water for them.
no, but its healthier for the fish.
No, I don't have live plants, I just have a filter and it works fine. Just keep the tank clean and make sure to change the water and stuff.
it depends on the kind of fish. some like rocks, shells, etc.
Depends on what kind of fish you have in the tank. I mean it doesn't hurt and it can be beneficial but its also more work. Most plants need extra special lighting and plant soil or sand. Plus fertilizer to help them grow. If you have fish that eat plants they may just tear them apart and that can be a messy situation when plant matter is scattered all over the tank.
It can look really neat to have live plants though if you have the time, energy and money to make that kind of investment. But it can be a lot of work. Plants provide extra food (for vegetarian fish such as guppies and mollies) and extra oxygen. Plus if you have fish that breed easily such as the live bearers it will give the babies a place to hide and a better chance to survive. Hope this helps. Good luck!
nope. You can have fake plants as long as they are soft and do not cut, rip, or tear your fishes fins.
Putting plants into the aquarium gets the fish more oxygen and provides them a better environment.
no, unless u dont feel like feeding them. but u should have some stuff in there, live or not, for them to hide in or whatever
no it is not necessay to have live plants in the aquarium. if you put them in your tank and you have goldfish in your tank the fish will eat the plants
No, it's not necessary at all. They help with the oxygen and they look nice, but you can have a healthy tank with out them.
