Freshwater aquarium plants are more than just decorative elements in a fish tank; they play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy aquatic environment.
These plants aid in oxygenating the water, provide natural filtration, and offer shelter and breeding grounds for fish.
Additionally, live plants can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of an aquarium, creating a vibrant, natural-looking habitat that benefits both the fish and the viewer.
I never used to have live plants in my tanks but I decided to take the plunge and see how they work out.
I have not looked back since.
The live plants in my tanks have drastically reduced the algae problems I was having to such a degree that I only perform water changes once a month.
The bonus is that my fish tanks look natural and the fish seem happier.

So give live plants a try.
You won’t regret it!!
