Live plants are a vital component of any home aquarium supplies. They provide a focal point and cover for hard-to-reach spaces in your aquatic ecosystem, offer shelter and food for beneficial invertebrates, serve as food for fish and amphibians, create oxygen to promote healthy conditions in the tank water, give off waste that is used as nutrients by other organisms... The list goes on!
Such pet supplies in Dandenong do require care and patience, but they can be well worth the effort as you watch your little underwater friends thrive in their new homes. Live plants also provide a great opportunity to add colour and beauty to your tank. So, why live plants? What are their benefits? Why should you care about them?
What Are Live Plants?
Live plants are a popular addition to aquariums not only because they are visually appealing, but also because they have a number of benefits for the health of fish and other aquatic life! Most live plants fall under the categories of water ferns, mosses, flowering plants and true aquatic plants such as lilies or lotus. These aquatic supplies come with their roots intact; a combination which is easily accommodated by any container-based freshwater or saltwater tank.
Live plants have rooted stems that allow them to attach themselves to the bottom of your aquarium or other surface sources of water (think rocks or a gravel substrate). This feature is what allows live plants to thrive in so many forms and sizes: carpet, dwarf/flowering, long-rooted varieties, and floating.
