What do you need to grow aquatic plants in an aquarium?

Aquatic grass tank] What is needed to raise aquatic plants.

5 kinds of aquatic plants suitable for novices, with tenacious vitality and easy to raise.

What aquatic plants to raise depends on your specific conditions.

Different aquatic plants have different requirements for water quality, generally speaking, the requirements for light of the negative grass are not as high as the positive grass, even this does not mean that the negative grass is easy to raise, Moss, water banyan, pepper grass, etc., it is not easy to raise it well. I want to briefly tell you the conditions for raising aquatic plants, you can compare them, see how much you can do, and then choose the right aquatic plants according to the situation!

1. Light, any aquatic plant needs light, or sunlight then light, we generally avoid sunlight in order to avoid the outbreak of algae, so use light instead of sunlight, so aquatic weed lighting is an important condition for raising aquatic plants.

2. Water quality, what we need to raise aquatic plants is weak acid and soft water, if the water is too hard, or the pH is too high, aquatic plants will not be able to survive.

3. The choice of bottom sand and bottom bed is very important, aquatic plants absorb nutrients through the roots and leaves, and for aquatic plants with developed root systems, if the bottom bed is not suitable, it cannot survive.

4. Fertilizer, aquatic plants should also "eat", so the addition of base fertilizer and liquid fertilizer is a must. If there is a small amount of aquatic weeds, it can also be replenished by changing the water frequently to replenish the necessary growth elements.

The above 4 points are more important, is the key to raising aquatic plants, relatively speaking, the water banyan and small triangle Moss have low requirements for water quality and light, you can try it, if you can feed, you can gradually add some iron crown, Uruguayan crown and antler iron crown, etc. For positive grass equipment can not be reached, do not try!

The lantern family is a good choice. However, traffic lights are more difficult to determine the water, and improper handling can cause a large number of deaths. You can also choose cherry blossom shrimp and crystal shrimp.

Generally, there are lantern fish, the number is slightly larger, and the group swimming is more beautiful. **There are low and high, traffic lights are cheap... It's just easy to die.

1. The grass tank is mainly based on the shape of grass, and it is advisable to raise some lamp fish, shrimp or tool fish.

2. Light fish are generally recommended: traffic lights, Baolian lights, diamond lights, black lotus lights, zebras, etc. Tool fish generally have:

Black Mary, Black Flying Fox, Rat Fish, Black Shell Shrimp, Yamato Algae Shrimp, etc. Fish that eat aquatic plants or destroy aquatic plants are not available: glass fish, kuma, kissing fish, green pufferfish, angler, sapphire, etc.

3. Fish farming in grass tanks should not be too much, otherwise it will destroy the primary and secondary order of grass tank shapes, affect the ornamentality, and will also bring greater pressure to the maintenance of water quality.

1. Pave the base fertilizer and bottom sand.

The long-lasting base fertilizer should be spread on the bottom layer of the aquarium before the water is released in the aquarium, and then a layer of clean sand with a thickness of 5 8 cm. If the sand layer is too thin, the aquatic weeds are easy to float, and it is not conducive to the growth of aquatic weeds; The sand layer is too thick, the aquatic weeds can not absorb the nutrients of the base fertilizer well, and the excessive precipitation of impurities can easily lead to the blackening of the bottom sand, which destroys the water quality and the growth of aquatic weeds.

2. Extermination. Remove the plastic baskets, lead bars, and foam that contain temporary nutrients from the aquatic plants. Don't rush to plant first, at this time, you can soak aquatic plants in diluted copper sulfate solution for 10 20 minutes, which can kill parasites, snails and hydroids and other alien organisms entrained on aquatic plants, and prevent harm to fish.

3. Straight branches. After a long time of packaging and transportation, aquatic plants tend to be twisted and deformed, before landscaping, the whole bundle of aquatic plants is immersed in water and inserted in the sand for 1 day to let it stretch and straighten naturally.

4. Pruning. Before planting aquatic plants, some aquatic plants should be simply repaired with excessively long roots, yellowed and broken leaves, and mossy branches and leaves, so that the landscaping is beautiful and conducive to the future growth of aquatic plants. For creeping aquatic plants, you can use sharp scissors to prune off the roots at least 1 3, while removing rotten, yellow, or withered leaves, and even some leaves that are too much of a water leaf type. Aquatic plants with stems, usually have not yet grown roots or have very short roots, as long as the rotten, yellowed or withered leaves are removed.

5. Planting. When planting, stemmed aquatic plants only need to carefully insert the roots into the bottom sand, and creeping aquatic plants first press the roots deep into the bottom sand, and then carefully pull them up to slightly expose the roots.

6. Water injection. Before planting aquatic plants, the aquarium should be filled with water to 70 80 in the normal state, which will help the aquatic plants to stand straight in the water, and it is easier to grasp the angle when landscaping. When filling water, it should be injected slowly, and do not let the large flow of water hit the bottom sand.

7. Plant aquatic plants.

Generally, the roots of aquatic plants can be directly buried in the sand by hand, or they can be used with water weed clips or tweezers to make the operation more convenient. The cultivation of aquatic plants generally includes pot cultivation method, tank cultivation method and root method.

1. Types of aquatic plants for fish farming

There are many types of aquatic plants for fish farming, which are mainly divided into phytoplankton, fine-leaved plants, herbaceous plants, and turtle-backed plants. Among them, phytoplankton and fine-leaved plants are suitable for raising small fish in water tanks, and herbaceous plants and turtle back plants are suitable for raising large fish in water tanks.

Phytoplankton: such as water lotus, duck plant, etc. These plants have underdeveloped root systems, which are suitable for raising small fish in water tanks, which can filter out waste in the water, and facilitate the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, so that the water spring permeability is clearer.

Fine-leaved plants: such as aquatic plants, purple endives, etc. These plants can provide nutrients, inhibit algae growth, and create a natural environment, which is suitable for water tanks to raise small rock fighting fish.

Herbaceous plants: such as keel grass, Texas artemisia, etc. These plants grow quickly and require plenty of light and nutrients, making them suitable for large fish in tanks.

Turtle back plants: such as potted stars, rat grass, etc. These plants inhibit bacterial growth and create a natural environment that is suitable for large fish in tanks.

2. How to choose suitable aquatic plants

When choosing aquatic plants for fish farming, there are a few things to consider:

1. Light conditions: Different aquatic plants have different requirements for light, some only need weak light, and some need strong light.

2. Water temperature: choose the appropriate aquatic plants according to the water temperature in the fish tank, generally speaking, the higher the water temperature, the more nutrients are needed. For example, tropical aquatic plants prefer water temperatures between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius.

3. PH value: choose suitable aquatic plants according to the pH value of water quality, and the general pH value is more suitable for the growth of aquatic plants.

4. Substrate at the bottom of the tank: aquatic plants need an organic growth substrate, such as rice husk, perlite, etc. It is necessary to choose the appropriate substrate according to different aquatic plants.

3. Suitable combination of fish and aquatic plants

The following points need to be considered for a suitable combination of fish and aquatic plants:

1. The number of aquatic weeds: different aquatic weeds need different light, nutrients and space, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate amount and placement of jujube ridges according to different aquatic weeds.

2. Harmony of aquatic plants: Some aquatic plants do not match each other, which will cause mutual exclusion, and even lead to the withering or even death of some aquatic plants.

3. Eating habits of fish: Some fish like to nibble on aquatic plants, and some fish will not touch them, so you need to choose suitable aquatic plants according to different fish.

4. The height of aquatic plants: When choosing aquatic plants, it is necessary to choose the appropriate aquatic plants according to the height of the water tank to avoid the aquatic plants being too high and affecting the ornamental effect.

4. Precautions

In the process of fish farming, the following points need to be noted:

1. Aquatic weed maintenance: Replace the aquatic weeds in the tank regularly to ensure their good growth and provide appropriate light and nutrients.

2. Water quality testing: regularly test water quality, keep water quality stable and appropriate, and avoid over-flushing and over-feeding.

3. Cleaning in the tank: Replace the water regularly, clean up the waste in the tank, and maintain good water quality.

4. Reasonable feeding: according to the types and sizes of different fish, reasonable feeding should be made to avoid overfeeding, resulting in poor water quality.
