| Live plants were the norm back in the sixties when I set up my first aquarium. We've come a long way since then. The fish keeper of today can opt for very
attractive plastic and silk plants that come close to passing for the real thing. So what is the best choice for aquarium plants, real or artificial? Even the most
experienced fish keepers don't agree. Why? Because there isn't a right or wrong answer. It comes down to a matter of choice |

| Besides algal infestations, plants can suffer other ailments, especially when the water conditions are not favorable. Water with incorrect properties can cause as
much or more damage to a plant than nutrient deficiency. If plants begin to wane (i.e. prematurely yellowing and losing leaves, leaf damage), first check that the
water conditions are in order. If they are, see the chart below for help. |

Water conditions
( Added: Fri Jan 13 2006 Hits: 73)
|
| The dissolved content of water is perhaps the most
important aspect of water conditions, as dissolved salts
and other constituents can dramatically impact basic
water chemistry, and therefore how organisms are able
to interact with their environment. Salt content, or
salinity, is the most basic classification of water
conditions. An aquarium may have fresh water (a salt
level of <0.5%), simulating a lake or river environment;
salt water (a salt level of 5%–18%), simulating an ocean
or sea environment; or brackish water (a salt level of
0.5%–5%), simulating environments lying between fresh
and salt, such as estuaries.
