Aquarium plant is
very important to aquarium as water is to fish. It add more life to aquarium
and make it to looks beautiful while completing aquarium community structure.
The main object to bear in mind when planting is to form an attractive
background, leaving ample space in from where the fishes can swim undisturbed
and be seen. The tall, grassy type is best planted at intervals in rows, while
the feathery ones look better when they are bunched into small clumps, which
makes them to appear like branching bushes.
When planting
rooted plants, hold the tips of the bunch of roots between the thumb and second
finger and rest them on the sand. Now with the first finger push the upper part
of the roots (where they join the stem) about 2cm into the sand. Without moving
this finger scrape with the thumb and second finger some sand over any
uncovered portion of the root.
When putting in
rootless plants in bunches, the method explained above is repeated, but this
time the lower ends of the stems are placed together and treated exactly as if
they were roots.
It is important
that the water surface should be right up to the lower edge of the top angle
iron of the tank, so that looking from the front the water surface can not be
seen and the viewer gets the impression that there is no water in the aquarium.
If the level is allowed to fall below the top angle iron the tank looks like a
container holding water.
