Answers:

Plants provide more surface area for healthy bacteria to grow on. They are a food supplement for your fish and part of the tank's filtering system. You do however need to have at least three inches of gravel for the roots, Good water circulation and temp., and in some tanks a CO2 supplement (I have one tank that the plants thrive in and one that needs the Co2 to keep them growing) dying plant matter does pollute the tank and sicken the fish.

Some fish may nibble on plants. It also may make the fish more comfortable to have something to hide in. The main reason is that plants help to keep the water rich in oxygen.

yes that is true

Yes it is true.Fish live better if they have plants in their tanks because it helps them to breath better.

Yes, it gives them oxygen, and helps the fish have something to hide in.

It depends on what kind of plants you use. I would get the same kind of fish (that arent as important to you) and test diff plants on them b4 putting them in your luved fish cause I am sure you would feel really bad if the fish reacted badly to the plant and got sick. ALSO talk to animal experts (vets, or petstore workers) see what kind of plants would be good for your fish. Hope this helps you and your fishies sooo much. I wish you and your fishes love and luck.
