As the weather gets warmer, many friends start to raise ornamental fish in open fish tanks. In the process of raising ornamental fish, whether to put aquatic plants in the aquarium seems to be a controversial topic. If you put aquatic plants in a fish tank, they will wither easily and cause waste. However, aquatic plants are very helpful to the reproduction of ornamental fish, which can provide shelter for some ornamental fish, make them feel safe, purify water and provide oxygen. It is indeed a matter of more advantages than disadvantages, and it is not good not to let go. So what should we do? This article will help you solve this problem and introduce two kinds of aquatic plants that can be put into almost any fish tank. These two aquatic plants are so powerful that you can basically throw them into a fish tank and leave them alone.

Growth is gratifying: Pteris vittata

The first one is Pteris vittata, which actually grows very fast. As long as the water quality is suitable, it will grow wildly, and it basically needs pruning once a week. It is precisely because of this characteristic of Pteris vittata that Pteris vittata is sold very cheaply in the market, and some even give it directly to some customers without selling it.

Therefore, Pteris vittata can be used as our first choice to match aquatic fish tanks. If the water quality is good, Pteris vittata can grow quickly, and we can give the surplus to our friends. If the water quality is not good, Pteris vittata will not wither immediately, because it does not need to take root, as long as it floats in the water, it can absorb nutrients in the water and then grow. Therefore, in case Pteris vittata doesn't grow well in water, it can survive in water for about a month. This month is enough for aquatic plants to contribute to our fish tank. Go buy a new one and put it in.

A gratifying rise: Ceratophyllum

The second kind of water plant I suggest to you is Ceratophyllum, which is actually familiar to everyone. It is not exclusive to goldfish, but it can be suitable for many ornamental fish. In particular, some small tropical ornamental fish, such as peacock fish, Mickey mouse and Mary fish, are still very suitable for matching with Ceratophyllum. Because the leaves of Ceratophyllum are very thin and needle-shaped, it is easy to grow some algae. So some small tropical ornamental fish can eat these algae on it to supplement their other nutrients.

In addition, Ceratophyllum and Pteris vittata have a similar feature, that is, they can just float in the water and grow very fast. Moreover, Ceratophyllum is sold in almost every aquarium store, and the price is very cheap, and some of it is given to customers. Therefore, in the use process of Ceratophyllum, it is similar to Pteris vittata. If you want to pursue more abundant aquatic plants, you can put them together in a fish tank, which is also very beautiful.

Strong combination: Pteris vittata+Ceratophyllum

Finally, I would like to give you a little modeling suggestion, that is, you can properly put a sunken Shui Mu in the fish tank, then wrap these snapdragon or Pteris vittata around this sunken Shui Mu, and then let the sunken Shui Mu sink, so that these aquatic plants will not float on the water surface, resulting in a very small space on the water surface, which is not suitable for some upper ornamental fish activities, and at the same time, it can enhance the ornamental value of the fish tank.

This is a fish farm. If you also like to keep ornamental fish, you might as well give some advice. Everything you need to know about fish farming is here!
