Live and bright aquarium is not only fish. Even with the most beautiful representatives of the fish kingdom, he may seem deserted and insolent, if there is no vegetation in it. Smash underwater green Garden It is not always easy, but if we pick up hard inhabitants for him, problems and worries will be much smaller. What plants can be considered unpretentious? Let's deal with!
As we already call the species that:
Strawy representatives are in many plant taxa (systematic groups).
This nice algae forms a colony in the form of a fluffy green ball, which looks very picturesque and allows you to strongly diversify aquarium design. The ball can be cut and attached to the bottom, turning it into a rug or a small lawn. The Kladhofor simply adore shrimp, as well as fry fish, which find a huge number of edible microorganisms between her threads.
Clapofore requires lighting from 0.5 W / l, not too hard, neutral water (in water with high pH balls fall apart), which should be clean and transparent. Prefers coolness to 23-24 ° C, in a warm water loses shape.
Therefore, if the Kladfofor dwells in the heat-water aquarium, at times about in a month - balls should be placed for several weeks to cool water to restore the colony.
Cladoft.
This group includes the most endless of aquarium plants. It can be said that only water is required for life, everything else is minor details. Perfectly tolerate lighting and wide range of hydrochemical characteristics. It gives space for creativity during decorating: can form floating clouds in the thickness of water, create a lawn on the ground or picturesque stones and squigs (first, Yavansky Moss is required to fasten on the desired surface, in the future it can increase it).
Like a storelafor, gently love shrimps and fry, because it provides them with a shelter and rich feed base. It serves as a wonderful substrate for bio filter bacteria, and itself is a good filter, delaying suspended particles of the organic.
Also moss, from the liver department, which is a weakening of individual short shallow twigs. Usually it is allowed to swim at the surface, where it serves as a feeder for fish, a place for ikrometania and nursery for the fry. There are no organs for attaching to the substrate at Riccia, but it can be fixed on any surface, for example, using a fishing line. Required water temperature from 22 degrees. And it should be soft, neutral or weakly acid, with regular partial substitutions.
Yavansky Moss.
It is possible to attribute Thai and Indian water ferns.
It has embossed leaves, according to the form similar to IV. It grows pretty slowly, over time, forming bright green dense and lush thickets 25-30 cm tall. It is usually placed in the side walls, in the corners or on the backdrop of the aquarium. A small bush can be positioned even in the central part of the nanoacarium. The rich primer is not needed, since the root system is represented by small rhizodes and does not penetrate deeply. But it can be fixed on a crust or ceramic scenery, depicting an interesting landscape, for example, an abandoned castle, through the stones of which trees germinate.
Or ceratopteris, outwardly completely different. He has dissected, openwork light-green leaves, well-developed roots, it forms a large high bush. But the conditions for good growth, he needs similar to His Thai counterclaim: medium or good lighting, high enough temperature, soft water, weakly acid or neutral. It is necessary for the presence of nutritional soil (sand or fine smooth gravel), the layer thickness is not less than 4-5 cm.
Thai fern.
These include the overwhelming number of green inhabitants of the aquarium. Have such a variety of forms, sizes, colors that eyes are running out. Let's try to describe the most unpretentious, breaking them into groups, based on the decorative value in the aquarium.
These are plants that have large enough dimensions and are usually used to create a rear background and aquarium side sides.
Very popular among the aquarists - a fast-growing plant with long, polar leaf leaves. Consumes the nutrients with the entire surface, therefore it helps to reduce the level of nitrogen and phosphoric compounds in water. Serves favorite food for herbivorous fish and snails. Prefers heated minor fractions, temperatures from 24 ° C, not too hard water, the lighting is average. Carry various acidity.
Her close relative - hygrophil straight, nomafila, or lemongrass, slightly more decorative: the leaves of it with intensive lighting have a pinkish kaima, are closer to each other, in good conditions The plant bushes. The tops of the lemongrass are raised above the water, so that they can be interested in to issue ankvaterrarium or. This kind you need at least secondary lighting, hardwaterThe reaction is neutral or a slightly shifted in the acidic side.
Hygrophil multiseming.
The same conditions require another representative of the hygrophil - hygrophile of the discharge (dimorphic), or blue. It is wonderful that the leaves have a different form - from oval, slightly carved along the edges, to deeply dissected, centered, lace. All mentioned hygrophil species are planted with groups to form thick volumetric curtains.
The inhabitant of the back plan, creating a fluffy openwork background, is and well-known. She has a long stem and high growth rate (it means it is well pulling out of the water of extra nitrogen), fry in its thickets, adult fish are spawn, they are usually shrimp. Everyone loves the CaboB! And she likes the lighting from 0.4 W / l, pure neutral or weakly acidic water with an indicator of rigidity not more than 8 °.
Magnificent background can create Naiad Guadelupe. It does not require rooting, feeling well in free-peeling condition, but being fixed on the ground, behaves like a full-fledged bush. This plant is the embodiment of grace and subtleties, but it is very unpretentious. The only thing he is required is good lighting, it easily adapts to the rest.
Flower of Caroline Caboomba.
But why are we all plants with long, narrow or needed leaves? It is necessary to diversify our backdrop with some circles, and for this, the hydrocothylane is perfectly suitable. Its leaves have a rounded shape, and thickets somewhat resemble the familiar marsh bowl in miniature. Next to our green lace and Christmas trees will look very fun and original.
From the requirements - only the light is not less than 0.5 W and pure, periodically changeable water.
Musty to the surface, the hydrocothylae forms floating leaves that can sharpen the other greens, so it is necessary to be attentive and not to give her to grab too much territory.
To fill the gaps on the back background, the aquarium can be applied and, collected in beams, several twigs and pressed to the bottom. They will not be able to form lush thickets, because they are not rooted and do not eat, but add denotes and textures - quite. They are undemanding to the water parameters, they carry almost any rigidity and acidity. True, in very soft water, the rorn will break the stem, and the formed cuttings are blurred in different directions. Lighting love medium or good. Eloda is better grown in cool water, up to 23 ° C. 
To revitalize the central part of our reservoir, large emission bushes can be used, for example, Echinodorus Amazonian. This species is characterized by its shadowness (tolerates the illumination 0.25 / l), grows in a wide range of acidity values, prefers moderately rigid water. That it is necessary for him, it is a thick layer of nutrient soil.
In the spacious aquarium in the center and closer to the ends, you can land low species, for example, a cracker mini-twister - a few of its bushes growing nearby, create a nice crispy grove. It is not additive to the light and water parameters (only high values \u200b\u200bof rigidity and pH) and grows well almost in all conditions.
The average plan for its dark glossy greenery will decorate and. They do not need bright color, they grow almost with any rigidity of water slowly, but right. Anubias are required nutrient soil, but they need to plant them correctly: to pin only the roots, leaving the creeping stem surface on the surface. Anubias can be incremented to sniffs, and their dwarf representatives to put on the forefront, for which in the average-seated aquarium it is very difficult to choose suitable vegetation.
Anubias and Javanese moss fixed on the crust.
Of course, the greens in the aquarium is perfect, but I want other colors. Unfortunately, most plants having red color or patterned multicolored leaves are very picky to light and hydrochemical indicators.
An exception to this rule is Rotala Indian and. Their leaves are reddish, sometimes slightly purple bottom, and they create bright islands on a common emerald and malachite background. The red color on the leaves is manifested only in conditions of at least medium lighting. At the same time, it is good if the light comes not only on top, but also from the side, then the leaves are located close to each other and several stalks planted nearby form a magnificent bush.
If the light is only the top, the lower part of the stem gradually loses the leaves and is taken off. But this question can be solved by periodic stalling and transplant: trim up the tops of the stem and collect new bushes from them. Water these plants need warm, clean, not too hard, neutral or weakly acidic.
As you can make sure, the choice of unpretentious plants to decorate our underwater kingdom is not so small. All of them are different, and with their help you can implement the most bold design ideas. Would a desire and patience!
How to choose aquarium plants and land them look at the video:
In the aquarium that you want to admire and proudly demonstrate to guests, there must be not only beautiful fish, but also an interesting decor. Unpretentious aquarium plants are able to revive and decorate the underwater kingdom. They are undemanding to special conditions, to care for them just and grow easily.
Fish in his underwater kingdom can exist well and without representatives of the flora. But will such aquarium be alive, and can it be able to delight from contemplation of a particle of nature?
Properly chosen plants for aquarium create behind glass magic worldwho soothes and configures its complacent way. The purpose of the herbal aquarium is much more than just the subject of the interior, both for humans and for the inhabitants of the underwater space. Aquarium Flora supports an environmental balance in a closed medium, approaching the conditions for natural phenomena of nature.
Vegetation in the aquaron is needed for the full existence of water inhabitants. Like any live vegetation, aquarium inhabitants require attention, care and certain conditions content.
To create a harmonious corner of nature, when selecting flora, you need to take into account important factors.
Uncomplicated care and minimum manipulations will master any novice aquarist.
Choosing aquarium plants for beginners, ignore rare and, as a rule, dear samples. They need a rich, well-haired soil, which is not in the new aquarium.
You can choose the very following beautiful views from unpretentious aquarium plants that are well adapted in the usual space. With unusual forms and color palette, they will decorate the homemade reservoir, in which they will look good in the front and background.
It is not better suitable for beginners, comprehending aquarium wisdom. It will greatly decorate naked stems of conifers and the base of large stones. Takes any temperature, but in cold water grows slowly. The acidity of the value does not have, but soft water affects the structure of the leaves. Top up fresh water is optional or updated no more than 30 percent times a week. The size depends on the volume of the repository: the greater the vessel, the larger the cryptocorine grows.
This is a good copy in the home reservoir, as the lighting takes any other than direct sunlight. Even with a weak light, leaves continue to delight with bright colors.
The only requirement of the vendy is the nutritionality of the soil and the size of the fractions should be average.
Valisnaria Giant Unpretentious decorate the background with beautiful spiral sheet plates. The combined embarrassing composition combined into one composition. Like tiny boats, float on the surface of the water leaves of Wallinia.
This beautiful plant grows rapidly and easily multiplies by side shoots from the rhizomes. Adapts to any conditions of light and water.
All sorts of moss
Some types of aquarium flora require attention and costs more than. It is good that you can choose unpretentious specimens that grow by themselves: different mosses and fern.
In this sense, a lot of fans have Yavansky Moss, thanks to the unique qualities:
There are many unpretentious aquarium plants that look interesting and effectively, like more capricious species. With the help of undemanding vegetation, the novice aquarium can create atmospheric landscapes, showing its fantasy and creativity.
Unpretentious species are distinguished by endurance and ability to survive at different temperatures. Some of the presented species do not need a lot of light and the composition of water is not important. Most unpretentious species grows quickly, easily multiplies and does not require fertilizer.
For the reproduction of decorative Yavansky MCH, no need to rooted in the soil. Unpretentious briefit freely floats in the thickness of water or attached to the stones. It grows quickly even with medium lighting, so periodically endure the branched branches.
Another popular moss. Floats over aquatic stuel, does not require rooting in the ground. Many fish are eaten. The plant loves the microorganisms that fastened freshers. Riccia creates shaded places in the aquarium, if desired, it can be fixed on the walls or stones. The born moss settles at the bottom under weight weight.
Often, start-up aquarists have to hear complaints that they do not grow plants - yellowish, they get rid of the leaves, ignore the roots, "bald" stalks ... Unfortunately, such symptoms are caused not only regular conditions In aquarium or violations of the rules of its "launch", but also just incorrect selection of plants.
In the literature on room flower growing in descriptions of certain colors, they often put special pictograms of the difficulty of content, in gradations from "extremely unpretentious" to "very capricious". However, for water plants For some reason, it is not accepted for some kind of designation. And in vain ...
Yes, unfortunately, some plants are able to upset a novice aquarist. What kind of plants are these? Conditionally, they can be divided into two groups. The first are plants, actually are ground, growing in wet rainforests or in the shores of water bodies, and with some difficulty withstanding constantly immersed state during a couple of months. By the way, there is among the "hygrophytes" (and this is what the names such plants) and those that are not like around them - wet air or fresh water. But we will talk about them just below ... The second group is really aquatic (well, or at least capable of growing under water for a long time) plants, but requiring special conditions that a beginner aquarist is difficult to provide or impossible. For example, lights at least 1 watt per liter, or a light day over 12 hours (at the beginning of the novice at the same time, the aquarium instantly touches it), or mandatory supply from 2 and mineral fertilizers. With such species, the newcomer should not be connected either. And why? After all, there are so many aquarium plants in the light, perfectly growing in almost any aquarium and forgiving many "teapotes" errors. We describe some of them.
Let's start with plants, or at all that does not have a root system, or those who do not really need roots in general. In the old literature they were combined into a group of "plants floating in the thickness of water." This is primarily merger (light green Ceratophyllum submersum and dark green C. delrsum), nanyas (first of all Guadeloop Najas guadeluensis \u003d n.Microdon) and "Elodea" (collective name for several species, the main of which Egeria Densa. and Egeria Najas.).
Roglisniki Aquarists are often used as starting plants when starting a new aquarium. They are so unpretentious that they can live in almost any water, with any indicators of hardness, pH and temperature. In nature, the rogolnik meets everywhere, from subarctic reservoirs to equatorial, including mountain lakes and brassing estairi rivers. The rogolnik does not form the roots, so it is either left in a floating condition, or fastened in the ground with various devices (handles, studs, weights). In the market and in pet stores are sometimes for sale plastic rings with suction cups - you can skip the bundle of the rogolidnik through such a ring and attach the suction cup to the glass of aquarium somewhere outside or a stone so that the rogue is beautifully crushed due to the scenery. In addition to the above-mentioned light green and dark-green rogolovnikov, there are two more species in the aquariums - Cuban and Krasnostomtere (from our Far East). And in total on the ground there are more than 50 species. The rogue is multiplied extremely simple - it is easily branching, and any branch branch forms a new plant. The only drawback of the merger (and its main advantage) is a very rapid growth. The rogolnik is able to absorb nutrients from the water with all its parts, and recycle them into their fabrics at such a speed, which is ahead of even the nichly algae in this process, selecting "bread". Such growth rate requires a significant amount of nitrate nitrogen as a nutrient, and therefore, a rogue effectively purifies water from excess nitrates and organics. And this determines the second popular use of a rogolistnik - as a natural "algicide", helps to cope with the invasions of algae in the aquarium and normalize the nitric cycle.
In the same quality (as a starting plant and as a natural algicide) aquarists use and guadeloop Nasia.(Najas guadeluensis). Unlike a rogolistnik, Nasaas have roots, and if it is planted into the ground, then the twigs are normally rooted. But in fact, he is not very necessary for the roots: the growth and development of the naya almost does not affect how it is grown - freely floating or rooted. Even a small sprig of nashas in good conditions can rise in a dense branchy green bush, occupying half aquarium. This is the perfect substrate for the spawning of many simple species of fish forming self-sustaining populations. In the thickets of the nasha, the micro-collection "Galaxy", ordinary cardinals, etc., are adored. This is an excellent place for frying fisheries - Guppie, Zamenossev, Pecilium - to hide from voracious parents. The lack of the nasha is alone: \u200b\u200bonce heading it in the aquarium, it is quite difficult to get rid of it. Stem nasas are actively branched and intertwined, and at the same time rather fragile. When removing it from an aquarium, several pieces will inevitably break down and "hide" among other plants, and after just a few days, they will warm up and give new young rashes.
Canadian Eldeje (Egeria Canadiensis) It is not by chance in the countries of Europe, where she fell into a last century from North America, called "Water Chuma". It is a beautiful, and even an elegant plant, hitting a new continent for himself, on which there is no such number of animals feeding on it, began to multiply unrestrained, filming all standing and slow reservoirs in record time. Over time, the protective mechanisms of nature turned on, Elodea fused into European ecosystems and stopped presenting a greater threat to shipping, but now one of the most common aquatic plants, including in our country.
Cultural lines " elode" (Egeria Densa, Egeria Najas, Lagarosiphon Major et al.) Grown in aquariums occurs not from the natural Canadian form-introduced naturally, adapted to cold water, and from plants of tropical regions. Unlike the domestic elephant "from the puddle", the shopping is perfectly adapted to the warm water of our aquariums, and it may well be recommended by novice aquarists as a simple and unpretentious oxygen supplier to fish and joy of eyes. Elday can be grown as a floating plant, but it is still better to plant it in the ground, where she quickly and willingly root. Elday breeds in the same way as most long-drying plants - branches-outflows branched from the parent plant, easily bother in the soil. Flowers Elday and in nature, it is very rare, and in the aquarium and at all "is lazy" to do it. In the aquarium design of ELODESE rarely, and in vain! This is an excellent lateral plan plant that, sides from the main composition of the aquarium, very cute bushes.
The following plants that I want to recommend beginners are very similar in appearance on usual ground cereal lawn grass. These are socket plants with long narrow "grassy" leaves collected in dense thickets - Wallinia different species (ordinary, spiral, asian, twisted, american, giant, etc.) and tropical grains - sagitaries.
Everything wallinia Extremely unpretentious, feel good in almost any aquarium, it is easy and quickly multiplied with flutter shoots - "mustes", on which, like a garden strawberry, the chains of young plants are formed. Various types and forms of Wallisner have leaves, straight as ribbons, or twisted in a spiral, light green, dark green, reddish and even tiger-dashed color. The length of the leaves is also variable - from 20-25 cm at V.Spiralis F.Nana., up to several meters (!) V.gigantea.. Scientists believe that our aquariums contain up to a dozen species of different valversnaire, but the aquarists in practice do not really distinguish them, sharing all Valisnors on the "ordinary", "spiral" and gigantic. All Wallinias form dense, thick thickets, so it is better to plant them along the rear window of aquarium as a background for all compositions. It is necessary to ensure that the processes of Wallisnaria do not penetrate into the middle part of the aquarium and did not float the entire volume.
Giant Wallinia - This is a plant for large, high aquariums. Whatever your height is - she still creates to the surface and put their long, wide ribbon leaves on it. It is more heat-loving than other types of Wallisner, and its leaves are tough and tasteful for fish, which allows it to be planted even to those species of fish that "not friends" with plants. For example, it is almost the only plant, normally surviving in the society of large American cichlid - astronotuses, goldfish, and other species, actively spoiling plants. Leaves of giant valvisnors, too strongly shadowing the surface of the water, can be cut.
Unlike Valinsnary, sagitaries - These are short foreground plants. These are relatives of our ordinary marsh harvest, but unlike him traditionally divorced in the Aquariums of the Cilovoid ( Sagitaria Subulata.) And Japanese ( S.PLATYPHYLLA.) Sagitaria does not form surface leaves and do not get out of the water. Sugitarium underwater leaves are very similar to the leaves of Wallisner, but shorter, hard, sickle form. With good lighting, the length of the leaves of the sagitarium does not exceed 5-10 cm, which allows them to use them as the ground plants of the foreground. Sagitaries are multiplied by the same long soil shoots as Vallinia, and in good conditions quickly cover the open areas of the aquarium soil with a pretty green gas. If the conditions in the aquarium are far from ideal - Sagitaria simply stops growing, but does not die and does not start, which makes it possible to recommend it to novice aquarists as one of the first plants: it easily forgives errors not too skillful lovers. If Sagitaria begins to actively grow into height, form long (15 cm and even more) leaves - most likely it means that she lacks light, and she stretches to it. Stiffness, pH, salt makeup and water temperature in the aquarium do not have a fundamental importance for sagitari - it is capable of living in almost any water, just enough light and water was clean.
Of anubias. As an unpretentious plant for novice aquarists, I want to recommend only one species - Anubias Barteri Var. Nana. And his varieties - " Petite", Nana" Round Leaves ", etc. This is a dwarf variety of a very variable species of Anubias Barter, not experiencing any problems with constant content in the underwater state in the aquarium and very undemanding to the conditions. For novice aquarists, this anabias is very attractive for novice aquaries, the ability to live Not only as planted in the ground, but also attached to a stone or squiggle, as well as slow growth, which allows you to bring care for it only to an infrequent removal of the yellowed or fired leaflet. The features of this very grateful plant, which we have already talked about the article about "slow Aquarium "allows you to create volumetric, expressive aquarium compositions from it and use it as the main" frame "design of the aquarium of a novice amateur. The exceptional endurance of this anabias is explained by the fact that in nature it grows in the coastal zone of unstable water bodies of West Africa, periodically turning out to be in water in different ways Purity and Sost Ava, and even in the air. The only thing that Anubias Nana does not like in the aquarium is too bright light, on which his leaves begin to be covered with green algae, so plant anabias in the shade, under the thickets of Elday or Valisnaria. Hard leathery leaves of Anubias are rarely damaged by fish, and therefore it can be planted even to such "unfriendly" to plants like African cichlids and medium-large rocks of goldfish. And in good conditions, the dwarf Anubias is sometimes able to please the amateur with underwater blossom, releasing the elegant white flower, similar to a miniature califer or a whiteflower.
Another group of aroid who feel well in the aquariums of novice lovers are cryptokorins. Of course, not all! Some cryptocorines are very capricious and whimsical, but numerous color varieties cryptokorina Vendata (Cryptocoryne Wendtii.), as well as such species like Willis ( Cryptocoryne Willisii.), AFFINIS ( Cryptocoryne affinis), Pontadericional ( Cryptocoryne Pontederiifolia.), aponestonoliste Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia, PARVA ( CRYPTOCORYNE PARVA.) And some others - quite suitable as plants for the first in the life of the aquarium.
Besides C.affinisand C.APOnogetherThe others listed above are small plants, with a length of leaves no more than 10-12 cm, quite suitable for the foreground. Unlike most of the rosette plants, cryptocorns relatively easily carry damage to the roots during transplantation from place to place inside one aquarium, quickly take root and are rolled into growth. But with a sharp transfer from one aquarium in another, strong (from 30% and above), the substitution of water, and especially when transported to another terrain with another salt makeup water water - Kryptokorin (especially - in cryptocorine affinis) sometimes there is an osmotic shock, which leads to a single-stage relief of the majority or almost all leaves. Of course, this phenomenon (called in the literature "cryptocorine disease"), if possible, should be avoided, but even if this happened - it is not scary: the plant has enough forces to repel the new outlet of the leaves in a new place.
Cryptokorins are not very fond of new, newly launched aquariums, with fully washed soil and low organic content. However, as the lower layers of soil are drained, they begin to grow much more fun and more worst. Best fertilizer For these plants, in the nature of tropical peat swamps growing in small reservoirs, there are natural waste of fish life facing the ground. Especially well they grow in aquariums inhabited by nipheral fish - pecilaters, swords, molensias. With good lighting and sufficient nutrition, many types of cryptocorine paint the lower part of the sheet plate in thick brown, dark red, and even burgundy color. This is evidence of a very good plant condition.
Cryptokorins are multiplied in the same way as Vallinia - the processes formed on long horizontal shoots, but only cryptocorine these shoots are usually growing under the surface of the soil and rarely form more than 1-2 subsidiary plants on one shoot. When transplanting such shoots (not even given more subsidiary plants) easily rolled and remain in the ground. Such a "hidden" process is able to then germinate a new plant after a long time, suddenly pleased with the aquarist of the new cryptocorine where the old one once sat. In good conditions in the old heated kyptokorina aquariums, subsidiaries are formed in a short distance from the maternal, growing in thick, dense thickets.
As a set of experience in working with the plants listed in this article, beginner aquarists can add to their aquariums and other, more so-conceived and more interesting plants, about many of which we will tell in the following articles.
Play an important role in the vital activity of its inhabitants. The presence of plants in the aquarium gives a number of advantages. Let's look at what aquarium plants are useful, their photos with names and which of them can be advised for novice aquarists.
This is a small plant that floats on the aquarium surface. The leaves are small, convex from the bottom and filled with aerimarmers, due to which the buoyancy is ensured. Single leaves, bright, green, oval shape. Steel up to 2 mm long. Rye - a perennial, light-affiliated plant.
A row can be used as aquarium design and as an additive to fish diet. It also is used to create a shadow. Sometimes the ripple falls into the aquarium completely accidentally, for example, with other plants or with live food.
The rod is unpretentious and well gets around in the new conditions. For this plant does not matter what quality water and temperature. The rod is enough if the temperature of the aquarium is ranging from 12 to 30 degrees. This is a floating plant, and for its growth, you need a lot of top light, as well as the absence of a strong current.
Some species of fish (scalaria, goldfish, other niphelistic) eat row. Still you can cook dry food. The leaves are collected, dried and mistat. Such food is nutritious and contains a lot of vitamins. Other fish can use a row as a shelter for spawning.
Rye multiplies with subsidiary plants. They are formed along the edges of the leaf plate. The process of reproduction occurs very quickly. Let's take a closer like a plant that is easily caring in aquarium, its views with photos and names.
There are several types of rod:
This is a fairly popular plant. There are many types of Wallinia. For aquariums, only three types are used - spiral, giant and dwarfish valley. 
Conditions for the cultivation of Wallinia:
But Procheate Valinsnery can notBecause the tips of the leaves will begin to rot! If the plant is too rummaged, it is recommended to cut it out. At the same time, it is necessary to remove subsidiaries. 
Important! If you are gathered to treat fish with drugs containing copper in its composition, Wallisnery must be removed from the aquarium, otherwise the plant will perish. Wallinia also dies if a rust or antibiotic "Bicyllin-5" is present in the aquarium.
Plant of the family of waterfront. Motherland - North America. Grows in rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps. The aquarium uses for decorative purposes. 
Elday is growing rapidly, escape can reach 2 meters. Soothes can be trimmed to the length that aquarium allows. Elday roots are thin, brittle and long. Stem branchy. Linear lanceal leaves, up to 1 cm long, bright green, without stuff.
Elday is a downtown plants. It is necessary to grow in aquarium male and female individuals. Floweros at the Elaus is long and reaches the surface of the water. Flowers are small.
Conditions for growing:
Did you know? The most expensive on the planet Aquarium is an aquarium "Golden Dragon". The cost of its 5 million dollars. The aquarium is made of gold. His designer is Stewart Hughes.
This is a common and unpretentious plant. The rogolnik has a green thin stem, the needy leaves. This plant is suitable only for underwater life. The rogolnik does not have roots and does not need landing into the ground. It just swims in the thickness of water. If it is not so convenient, then the rogue can be attached by stones or corporate. 
Performs the role of filter in the aquarium. This plant enriches water with oxygen and removes nitrates from it. Also, the rogolnik works on the principle of a mechanical filter - delays the suspension. If the plant is formed by falling out of the mud, it can be washed under running water.
The rogolnik grows at a temperature of 20 to 30 degrees. If the temperature is closer to 30 degrees, then the rogue can accelerate its growth and grow up to 20 cm per week.
For a hornger, bright lighting is needed - approximately 0.4-0.5 W per liter. But he does not like straight sun rays. It is recommended that the light day amounted to 12 hours.
When replacing water on 1/4 part of the volume with an interval once a week, a rogolovnik does not need mineral feeding. It is multiplied by only the division of the stem. Even if you have a very small segment of the stem, the whole plant can be raised from it. 
The Motherland of Limnobium Sureon- Tropical and subtropical countries of North and South America. This plant is floating on the surface of water glossy leaves on short cuttings. Leaves no more than 2-3 centimeters in diameter. This algae is used not only as a scenery, but also as a staler in the aquarium. It is capable of fully closed the surface of the aquarium under favorable conditions, so it is recommended to remove the surplus of lymnobium. 
Limnobium does not require special thermal conditions. Its contains in tropical, and in moderately warm aquarium. Recommended water temperature - 20-30 ° C. In cool water, the lymobium slows down growth and decreases in size. Better algae grows in soft water, the rigidity must be no more than 10-12 mg-eq / l.
As for most floating algae, strong lighting is needed for lymnobium, but for some time it is capable of living in shading. Use for lighting fluorescent lamps with a capacity of 2 W per 1 kV. dm. When using incandescent bulbs, the plant can get a burn.
Undercuming Limnobium mineral fertilizers can not be done. It very quickly multiplies, education at the ends of the lateral shoots of subsidiaries, which can be separated after the formation of three leaves and the root. 
Growing in all moderately warm planet areas. It is floating on the surface of an aquarium openwork moss of bright green. Riccia is often used by experienced aquaries as a natural substrate for spawning fish and as a shelter for fry. It is also used as a staler. 
Riccia grows in tropical and moderately warm aquarium at a temperature of 22-26 ° C. May die or stop growing at a temperature mode below 20 degrees Celsius. Water should be a soft, neutral or low-alkaline reaction, since with rigid water growth slows down. Also recommended to regularly change 1/5 part of the water.
For Ricci Growth, use good lighting, as with a weak light it will break up and will not create islands. It should be remembered that when you get a direct ray of the sun, Riccia is better to priest. Use standard fluorescent lamps for lighting, but do not use incandescent lamps.
Algae enough substances falling with or fresh water into an aquarium, so it is not necessary to feed the ricchia separately. She grows very quickly, from a small Taltoma Riccia in a short time spreads throughout the aquarium.
Did you know? The largest home Aquarium is located in the UK. It is located in the basement of one of the houses and has the size of the room - 4 x 3.85 x 2.13 m. It lives exotic fish from Amazon and Congo.
Mc Yavansky Madin - Southeast Asia. This is a weakening of thin dark green threads that are tightly attached to uneven stones and snags. If the moss does not touch for a long time, it forms attractive thickets on objects in the aquarium. Use it as a place for spawning fish. - This is an unpretentious plant that slowly grows all year.
The ideal temperature for MCH should be 24-28 ° C. If the temperature is less - moss stops growing. The rigidity and reaction of water do not matter for it, since the moss grows in any water. It should be remembered that water should be transparent because muddy water At algae, the raid is growing, which breaks the food of the plants and worsens it appearance. Water substitution is very often not required.
The roles also play the view and intensity of lighting in the aquarium. Moss can grow long even with minimal lighting, but with bright light grows faster, it acquires a saturated green color And begins to branch up the threads.
Moss grows perfectly if it is placed on the bottom of the aquarium without soil. The reproduction passes vegetatively, for this it is enough just to put a small piece of moss into the water. It can also be raised in a greenhouse with high humidity. Sometimes the moss is spared from stones and corporate, on which it grows, rises in water and at the same time grows in water, and outdoors. 
It was brought by aquarists from Southeast Asia, where the numerous islands, small rivers and reservoirs with standing water live in the distinguished zones. In fact, these are swamp plants that grow under water, and bloom in air.
Kryptokorinthere are many species, they can be determined solely on the bedspread, which consists of a chamber for inflorescences of the tube and petal.
Cryptokorins are very unpretentious. Temperature mode There must be 24-28 ° C, the water mode is neutral for rigidity and acidity. Aquarists recommend it weekly to change to 1/3 of water in aquarium for its normal growth.
Light set up not very bright, scattered. We should not forget that the soil should have nutritional substrates that consist of complex fertilizers. Also, the soil should be approximately the same temperature as water, because with a cool ground, the growth of algae will slow down.
Cryptokorins do not like transplants, because in a new place the leaves will appear only after a few months, even if the care is correct. Cryptokorins are multiplied by shoots that can be in the substrate. A small sheet formed at the end of the escape, over time grows into a small bush. After 5-6 sheets are formed on it, and the age will be several weeks - Kryptokorina can be transplanted.
There are a number of species of this plant for aquarium, below you read the names with their names:
Echinodorus It is a long-term swamp grass, some species can also grow on land. The absence of a stem is the main feature of all types of echinodorus, even major representatives.
The leaves in the plant appear directly from the root, from there they grow thickening (risoma), on which the kidneys grow. The usual reproduction method is the kidding.
The leaves at the echinodorus are strongly elongated and very dense. The shape of the leaves is a spear, pointed or oval from above, as well as elliptical.
Echinodorus is a blooming algae, right out of the leaves grows a long bloom, ending with inflorescences. Branches can form on the flowers and grow leaves. Of these, roots are already growing, and a subsidiary is separated from the maternal. It is also a characteristic method of reproduction of echinodorusov together with the root.
Echinodorus contains, as a rule, in deep aquariums, because their height can reach 60 cm. Place the grass in the center of the aquarium closer to the back.
The sand is used as sand of a large fraction or small gravel. Also, it will not be superfluous to add river IL to the soil. An ideal temperature will be 18-26 degrees Celsius, water rigidity - 5-10 mg-eq / l. Acid balance should be neutral. Such conditions are suitable for most decorative speciesTrue, there are features for individual species.
Different types and hybrids of echinodorus are also created to this day. Next, you can see the names of the species and varieties of these algae with pictures:
Ludwigi It is the algae of the Cylet family. The genus of this plant has more than 75 species. It grows around the world, but it is possible to meet Ludvigia in the tropics and subtropics. The main mass of species prefers more to grow on land than in water. 
The most common creeping, swamp and arcuate ludwigi. Aquarios are not concerned about the content of Ludvigi. Some say that she is unpretentious, others are convinced that the cultivation of the plant requires experience and a certain skill. Despite this, it is possible to say with accuracy that if Ludwigi falls into favorable conditions, it will grow quickly and abundantly.
This algae grows up to 30-35 centimeters, it blooms well. Flowers are mostly small, green colors. Crawling varieties are found except green, also yellowWhat makes it particularly attractive.
The ideal water temperature for Ludwigi is 20-28 ° C, if the temperature will decrease, then some time the plant will grow well. In the future, in the cool aquarium, growth slows down. An important factor is bright lighting, since Ludwigi love light. If they periodically get straight sun rays - the leaves will become brighter.
Ludwigi land in the ground either simply can be saved on the surface. The weakly mounted sand is ideal as a soil, as the root system is poorly developed.
Important! Water rigidity does not matter, but if it is more than 8 mG-eq / l, Leaves will be brighter. Regularly should be done by the water substitution, but this is not fundamental.
To multiply Ludwigia, you need to separate the top from the stem, the cuttings must be a length of 10 centimeters, they are planted into the ground or left on the water surface. 
For the comfortable life of plants in the aquarium, all conditions of cultivation should be taken into account. Thanks to the information in the article on some algae, which are not speculating in the aquarium, their types with photos and names, you can easily make your choice.
