Everything for plant care in the aquarium
An aquarium is not just a glass container with water and animals, but rather a living ecosystem that should be carefully designed and cared for.
Aquarium plants are a crucial component that is often overlooked. These green beauties play an extremely important role that goes far beyond mere decoration.
Find out more about the importance of aquarium plants for the well-being of the aquarium inhabitants, the water quality and the aesthetic design of an aquarium in the following text.
Immerse yourself in the exciting world of aquarium plants and the associated plant care and discover why aquatic plants are an important component of any well-maintained aquarium.
The role of aquatic plants in the aquarium
Aquarium plants play an important role in an aquarium for the following reasons:
- Oxygen production
Aquarium plants carry out photosynthesis, in which they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This increases the oxygen content in the water and contributes to the health of the fish and other aquarium inhabitants in the aquarium. - Removal of pollutants
Aquarium plants absorb pollutants (ammonia, nitrite and nitrate) from the water. These substances are produced by the fish's metabolism and can be toxic if they are present in high concentrations. Aquarium plants help to break down these pollutants and purify the water in a natural way. - Biological balance
Plants play an important role in establishing a stable ecological system in the aquarium. Aquarium plants provide natural hiding places and spawning grounds for fish and other aquarium inhabitants, promote the natural behaviour of the animals and help to reduce stress. - Algae control
Aquarium plants compete with algae for nutrients in the water. Thanks to their rapid growth, they can help to control the growth of unwanted algae and create an optimum balance in the aquarium. - Aesthetics
Aquarium plants give the aquarium a natural and attractive appearance as well as an appealing environment for fish, shrimps and other aquarium inhabitants. At the same time, they provide a pleasant visual experience for the viewer.
It is important to choose the right plants for the specific aquarium and the needs of the species it contains. A well-maintained planted aquarium can help to create a healthy and visually appealing environment for the aquarium inhabitants.
