There are many advantages to putting some aquatic plants in the fish tank. Although zebrafish do not eat aquatic plants, raising some aquatic plants can improve the ornamental value of the fish tank. Under the condition of light, aquatic plants can also carry out photosynthesis to produce oxygen. The oxygen it produces dissolves in the water and helps the fish to breathe.
The substances produced by fish metabolism can also be absorbed by aquatic plants, which is conducive to improving water quality. During the breeding period, it is better to put some floating aquatic plants, such as snapdragon and centipede grass. Water plants float on the surface of the water to facilitate the nesting of male fish. Therefore, there are many benefits to putting some aquatic plants in the environment of raising zebrafish, so it is recommended to plant aquatic plants.
There are no special requirements for aquatic plants for raising zebrafish, so try to choose aquatic plants that can adapt to the living environment of fish. In order to improve the overall ornamental, the foreground, the middle and the background can choose different kinds of aquatic plants. The foreground should use a shorter variety, otherwise it will block the water plants behind it. Like mini cow felt, dwarf pearl, Moss, etc., they are relatively short, suitable for use as a foreground. Medium scenery can choose some slightly higher water plants, water banyan, small water orchid are good choices. The aquatic plants in the background can choose the higher varieties such as green chrysanthemum, pagoda and shutter.
