What Goes Into A Freshwater Planted Aquarium?

In a freshwater planted aquarium a range of plant types are used and they come in a variety of forms. And in the same way fishes do, they also have requirements for specific water temperatures and lighting so you must find this out before you start planting them in your aquarium.

Marginal Plants – The majority of aquarium plants come within this category. In nature they are submerged for just a section of the year. Throughout the dry season they will grow out from the water and the majority flower and seed at that time.

Cryptocoryne genus and Echinodorus genus are good examples. There are more than 50 species under the genus Cryptocorynes and the Amazon Sword species (Echinodorus amazonicus), is very popular amongst the genus Echinodorus.

Real Aquatic Plants – Often sold as cuttings these aquatic plants are proper aquatic plants because they are submerged in the water and must stay that way. A good example is Cabomba caroliniana, which is from the genus Cabomba iand usually called the Green Cabomba .

Terrestrial Plants Are A No No – You can not leave these plants submerged for a long time in your freshwater aquarium because bad water quality will happen due to them rotting. Sometimes these are sold as aquatic plants so look out for them.

Cuttings – Cabomba is a very popular choice for The Aquarium but is also one of the more difficult to succeed with. It is good for hiding heaters and pipes but it also means that its delicate fronds can be easily damaged in an area with fast moving water. A more hardy species can be used for this situation; the Hygrophilia.

Rooted Plants – As some of these can grow to a large size (for example the Amazon Sword plants) choose carefully so they fit in with the size of your aquarium. Plants that are easier to manage are the E. paniculatus and the E. tenellus which is ideal for the front of your tank as it quickly covers the substrate. Others such as the slow growing Cryptocoryne species will need to be thinned out after they establish themselves and grow in bunches.

Basket Grown Plants – These can be either planted as they are, in the basket, or preferably out of the basket. And check to see how many plants are actually in the basket. Quite often there may be four or five plants potted as one. These need to be separated and planted individually.

Bulbs and Corms – The most well known species are the Aponogeton and Nymphaea. The Aponogeton have long pretty leaves and you can get flowers and if you are lucky they will seed giving you new plants.

The Nymphaea produce attractive leaves, varying from pink to red, under the water but you must make sure that lily pads are not formed on the surface. If you do not then the surface will get covered by them and no light will get to your plants.

Floating Plants – Not often used in community tanks as again they will cut out light to your other plants. But they are useful in breeding tanks for hiding places and spawning locations. Often used are Riccia, Ceratopteris thalictroides (Indian Fern) and Pistia stratiotes (Water lettuce). But avoid Lemna (Duckweed) like the plague as it will multiply very quickly and cover the surface completely.

Feeding – Rooted plants can be fed with fertilizer pellets so they can grow healthily but be careful not to use too much.

Lighting and Water Temperatures – Cabomba plants for the aquarium need warm water temperatures (from 18º to 32ºC) and good light levels (up to 3 watts per gallon). Cryptocorynes don’t need bright lighting and in fact are good with low to moderate lighting conditions and a temperature range of around 20º to 33ºC.

Propagation – Cabomba can be propagated by cuttings with good light conditions to facilitate rooting. Cabomba is a plant that is very easily cloned. Cut them in half after they reach 15-20 cm at the node or branch. Just stick it in the gravel and the plant does the rest.

Other plants, such as the Cryptocoryne species, give out runners that go into the substrate and form more plants. And others, such as Microsorium pteropus (Java Fern) and Ceratopteris thalictroides (Indian Fern), grow small plantlets from their leaves which drop off or can be taken off to form new plants.

American Aquarium Fishes $40 FOR MANY AQUARISTS, information on their hobby is limited to goldfish and exotic tropical fishes commonly available in local pet stores. Existing guides ignore native American species simply because few people have collected, kept, and successfully propagated them, and reliable information is difficult to find. In American Aquarium Fishes, Robert J. Goldstein and other serious aquarists, applying their specialized expertise on North American fishes, have compiled a comprehensive guide to hundreds of native fishes suitable for the home aquarium.American Aquarium Fishes corrects misconceptions about minnows and suckers, pygmy sunfishes and dwarf catfishes, perches and their tiny relatives, the darters, and even the mysterious blind cave fishes. This first-of-its-kind guide provides step-by-step instructions on where to find, how to identify, how to catch, and how to keep and even breed myriad backyard fishes. Goldstein explains why fishes occur where they do and warns against putting fishes where they do not belong. He discusses protected species and offers guidance on the rules for collecting in each state. He also gives detailed instructions on how to transport and ship native fishes across the country and around the world.A chapter on aquarium plants by Richard Edwards, accompanied by 24 line drawings, provides details on collecting and propagating the most adaptable and beautiful aquatic plants likely to be encountered by fish collectors everywhere.The work is enhanced by more than 350 spectacular photographs by Goldstein, William F. Roston, Richard Bryant, Fred C. Rohde, and Garold Sneegas, featuring vivid underwater images of spawners in full nuptial coloration.Goldsteinhas provided a unique tool for American naturalists and a new dimension to the international hobby of breeding aquarium fishes. Destined to become the standard guide for housing and breeding American fishes, American Aquarium Fishes will be equally useful to both aquarists and biologi

Aquarium Pharmaceuticals PondCare Accu-Clear Pond Clarifier $10 Purpose and Benefits: PondCare Accu-Clear is a colorless liquid that rapidly eliminates cloudy water in koi ponds and water gardens. Newly constructed ponds may develop cloudy water during the first few weeks, especially in warm, sunny conditions. Established ponds can also experience cloudy water any time. Cloudy, discolored water may form while changing the filter, working with aquatic plants or when making a water change. In all these instances, Accu-Clear quickly restores pond water to a crystal clear condition. Accu-Clear causes tiny, suspended cloud-forming particles to clump together into larger clumps called flocs. Once clumped together these flocculated particles are easier to trap in the pond filter than the tiny particles, thereby aiding the filter system in keeping the water clear. If the pond does not have a filtration system, the flocs will settle to the bottom of the pond or become trapped in the pump prefilter. As the water clears, the particles will accumulate in the filter and it will be necessary to rinse the prefilter and filter pads/foams more often when using Accu-Clear to regain crystal clear water….
