aquarium plants

Aquarium plants are living plants kept in fish tanks to enhance the aquatic environment. They provide oxygen, improve water quality, and offer shelter and breeding grounds for fish and other aquatic creatures. Common types include foreground, midground, and background plants, each serving different visual and functional purposes. Live plants can help prevent algae growth by competing for nutrients. They require specific care, including appropriate light, substrate, and nutrients. Maintaining healthy aquarium plants contributes to a balanced ecosystem, promoting overall fish health and creating a visually appealing underwater landscape.
