Astronotus
These fish are hard to call easy to maintain, since they belong to the family of tsikhlovyh fish, moreover they are large, predatory fish. Nevertheless, due to its beauty, its qualities: demeanor, mind - the astronotuses won the leading positions in popularity among cichlids.

The most unpretentious and small aquarium fish with photos

The most unpretentious aquarium fish, the smallest aquarium fish. TOP 10 DIFFICULT FISHERS Keeping fish is not as difficult as it sounds. However, aquarium fish, like any living creature, require care and time, which many people, by virtue of employment, simply do not have !!! This topic is left based on the following requirements for aquarium fish: unpretentious fish, small fish, easy-to-keep fish, the most enduring aquarium fish, tenacious fish, easy-working fish. 1 place Guppy

I think many aquarium fish experts will agree that the first place is given to guppes.

Everyone probably knows these fish ... even those who have never seen aquariums. We can say that these fish are the fish of all children of the former USSR (they were in all Soviet aquariums))). The fish is very beautiful and unpretentious. The tail fin is her beauty. The simplicity of the fish is that it can withstand "harsh conditions of detention." I happened to see an aquarium with guppies. without aeration, without filtering, without plants, without proper feeding etc. - horror, terrible dream aquarist. Nevertheless, guppies managed not only to survive in such an aquarium, but even tried to multiply. So you shouldn't mock the fish !!! But their endurance and vitality sometimes affects.

2nd place Swordtails

A very famous fish, as a result of persistent selection, a large number of swordtails of various colors and shapes were bred. Males are distinguished from females by the presence of a "sword" on the lower edge of the caudal fin.

Swordtails are kept in flocks in a densely planted aquarium. The minimum size of the aquarium from 10 liters (but better is more). A good volume of aquarium for a small group of swordtails is 50 liters.

An interesting fact about these fish is that the female swordtail can “at some” moment become a male, i.e. change the floor. This is due to the struggle for the survival of the species.

HOW AND GUPPI ARE RECOMMENDED, ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO DEAD WITH THE AQUARIUM.

3rd place Somiki corridors

It should begin with the fact that all aquarium catfish - a priori unpretentious. Moreover, they are "nurses of the aquarium world": they clean the soil and eat the remains of vital activity. The corridors are chosen from all catfish, since in addition to the gill, they have intestinal respirationi.e. if aeration stops, they will live for a long time.

The fish are very peaceful, calm. They slowly swim along the bottom in search of food. In the aquarium they are usually kept in flocks. Fish, do not pose any threat to other inhabitants of the aquarium.

AQUARIUM PLANTS
let's talk about the benefits of plants
for your aquarium and its inhabitants Many people who plant and develop an aquarium, for some reason, consider that aquarium plants are unnecessary hassles and worries. However, it is not! In this article I will try to make out the main aspects related to the life of aquarium plants and dispel the Myth "On the complexity of keeping and breeding plants in an aquarium."
To begin with, there are a huge number of plant species for the aquarium. Some of them are really difficult to maintain. But there is a lot of plants that do not require special care, except that your not intrusive attention, comparable to the care of indoor plants. For convenience, we divide this article into thematic chapters:
1. ABOUT THE FAVOR OF AQUARIUM PLANTS: Are aquarium plants needed? Why are they. Is it possible to do without them.
2. WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR AQUARIUM PLANTS: care, fertilizer, soil for aquarium plants, planting.
3. HOW MANY PLANTS NEED IN THE AQUARIUM: the ratio of fish and plants.
4. TYPES AND LIST OF AQUARIUM PLANTS.
5. UNCLEAN AQUARIUM PLANTS: plants for beginners.
6. AQUARIUM PLANT DISEASES: What to do if aquarium plants die - “wither”.

About the benefits of aquarium plants

Plants in the aquarium play a huge role in the life of its inhabitants. It can be said that the presence of plants in an aquarium is just a huge amount of advantages, which ones? Yes, here they are:
- plants are the "light" aquarium;
- plants are an established aquarium biosystem, no harmful substances in the water, no algae;
- plants are the sensor of the aquarium state;
- plants are a natural interior and "hospital" for fish, fry, shrimp, snails, etc.
- plants are an additional feed for aquarium inhabitants;
- plants set up an aquarium so that you can safely leave it and go on vacation;
- live aquarium plants - it is beautiful, natural and aesthetically pleasing;
Now, about everything in more detail!

Plants are lightweight aquariums.

In the process of plant life in an aquarium, under the action of light, photosynthesis is known to all. As a result of which, plants consume carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen. Thus, in your aquarium there will never be unnecessarily accumulated CO2, which is emitted by fish and other inhabitants of the aquarium, and aquarium water will naturally be saturated with oxygen.
Some experienced aquarists, with the help of plants, achieve such a biological equilibrium in the aquarium that they do not need mechanical aeration and filtration of water. Imagine - the aquarium does not buzz, electricity is not consumed - beauty !!! True, in order to accomplish this, you need to gain a lot of experience and know aquarism thoroughly.

Plants are an established aquarium biosystem, no harmful substances in the water, no algae.

Actually this aspect follows from the previous PLUS. In addition to the benefits of photosynthesis of aquarium plants, they also absorb harmful substances that also accumulate from the vital activity of fish and other comrades. Namely, plants absorb nitrates, nitrites and phosphates, using them as fertilizers. Thus, we get a "clean" aquarium, which is needed rarely, rarely siphon, or even forget about it at all!

Plants are an aquarium condition sensor

Everything is simple! Aquarium plants are the primary indicator of the status of your aquarium. If the plants "wither", turn yellow and rot - this is a sure sign of the poor condition of the aquarium and conversely lush, beautiful spreads - this is a 100% indicator of the excellent state of the aquarium world.

Aquarian plants are a natural interior and "maternity hospital" for small fishes, fry, shrimps, snails, etc.

No other decorations of the aquarium will replace the vegetation in the aquarium. If you want to maintain an aquarium with a professional approach, then you can not do without plants.
Firstly, because the plants are a beautiful decor of an aquarium and only a naturally decorated type of aquarium is a good imitation of the environment in which the fish lived until they came to you.
Secondly, the plants are a cozy home for the inhabitants of the aquarium world. Many fish, shrimps and other inhabitants use vegetation as a shelter, spawning, and the young of many fish find refuge in them.

Plants are an additional food for aquarium inhabitants.

Many, many fish are "herbivores." Some simply graze like sheep in a meadow, mowing down everything they see. For example, the family of Goldfish, well, just love vegetable feed. For these types of aquatic inhabitants, plant foods are needed, which are sold in pet stores, such as Tetra Veggieble. And here a reasonable question arises - why spend extra money when you can feed the fish with natural, fresh vegetation.
The mechanism of such feeding is very simple. I will give an example. I live in the same aquarium Goldfish - voilehvosty. I do not know about the others, but mine just with my hands pull out my vegetation! What I've done. In another aquarium with cyclides, he started a ryaska, which tsikhly not very eat, and which multiplies very quickly. Twice a week I catch a duckweed from a tsikhlidnik and give it to the Golden Fish. It turns out a kind of vicious circle, which is useful for cichlids and veils. In addition, expensive plants that are in the aquarium with Goldfish remain untouched by them and have a good aesthetic appearance.
Additionally, it is possible to offer the fish - Hornpole, which is also well eaten.
From the above, you can make only one conclusion - aquarium plants, well, just vital for feeding fish. And taking into account the fact that Lemna is worth nothing at all (in pet stores it is given away just like that) only, probably, the lazy person will not be engaged in vegetation.
Plants set up an aquarium so much
that you can safely leave him and go on vacation And indeed it is. I think many have encountered this problem when they need to leave, and there is no one to leave the aquarium for. Even I wrote, here in this article: VACATION AND AQUARIUM, about the disappointing problems of the aquarium and recreation. However, if there are good vegetation lawns in your aquarium, this will allow you not to worry about his cloisters for about two weeks. On their own experience proved! Yes, and many professionals say that a "good" aquarium without external intervention can easily exist for about a month. So we equip an aquarium with good vegetation and quietly go to the Maldives;)
Live aquarium plants - it is beautiful, natural and aesthetically pleasing! I think you understand it yourself. And who is not sure, please look at these photos here and compare the naturally and artificially designed aquarium.


with live plants with artificial plants
Summing up this section, it remains only to say in the affirmative - AQUARIUM PLANTS, ARE VERY NECESSARY AND USEFUL FOR THE AQUARIUM AND ITS INHABITANTS. Is it possible to do without them? Can. In fact, nothing terrible will happen, but the aquarium will not be beautiful, empty, short, dirty, difficult to clean, and the fish will be like orphaned children not living in a chic, cozy house,
and in the "shelter or dock".

What do you need for aquarium plants?

Many, starting to engage in an aquarium, think that the plants in the aquarium are unnecessary problems and concerns. However, it is not!!! Actually for the normal life of the plants in the aquarium, as well as for the fish, the main thing is to arrange everything. In relation to plants, this is achieved by selecting the right soil, fertilizing with fertilizer and due to good lighting. That's all! Well, once a month you need to "cut" them, now everything is for sure. A little more detail on each of the above nuances.
PRIMING: The soil for plants is purely individual. Some plants do not need it at all, while others need a thick layer of soil. In general, it can be said that the soil for plants should be from 3 to 5 centimeters thick and medium grain. It is this thickness (and more) that will allow the plants to take root well. A newly planted plant can be slightly pressed with a pebble the size of a larger one, well, or pinned down with some decor, it is possible to tie the plant with a fishing line. A common mistake is to tie a lead weight plant to the horse system - this is not very good. Yes, the plant does not float and it is difficult for fish to pull it out. But the lead is oxidized, and besides it prevents the roots of the plant from developing. The same applies to other goods.

By the way, about the question of the correct planting

the photo shows the rules of planting aquarium plants

FOOD FERTILIZER: Like fish, plants need feeding. Modern aquaria does not know this problem. In any pet store sold pills or liquid conditioners for plants. For example, Tetra plant start or Tetra Crypto. Such tablets are crushed and brought under the root system of plants on a monthly basis. The cost of one tablet is $ 1, depending on the size of the aquarium, one or two tablets are enough for a month. Per 1 tablet per 50 liters of aquarium water.

- protects and strengthens newly planted aquarium plants.
- the pill contains a plant hormone that enhances growth.
- helps the formation of roots.
- promotes survival of roots when transplanting plants.
- enhances the resistance of plants due to the content in the tablet of macro-substances.
Photo of Tetra Crypto-Dunger Tablets

Feed for aquarium plants, contribute to the normal formation of the root system. The tablet contains iron and other micronutrients. Does not contain nitrates, phosphates and does not cause water turbidity. The action of the pill occurs over a long time. It promotes the development of the most important microorganisms, as well as prevents the growth of algae.
You can independently, handicraft to prepare fertilizers for aquarium plants. But this is the whole "alchemy" requiring you to search for chemical ingredients, accurate weights and other troubles. Given the fact that in the yard 2013 year - the choice is obvious! I do not think that it will be a pity to someone to spend $ 1 per month on a pill for a plant. Yes, and with artisanal fertilizers, one can uncheck it, and so not only plants, but also fish will die. In general, I am for the pills and I urge you to this!
There are still old grandfathering methods - to put clay or peat under plants. Sami understands that this is also not an option. Where in the modern metropolis to get good clay, and especially peat. Yes, to be sure that there is no infection in them. And why, if we are talking about a home or office aquarium? After all, an aquarium is a piece of tropical nature, not a plantation in the middle of the Amazon River. Get acquainted with other drugs companies "TETRA" and Sera.

Lighting for aquarium plants

Light plays a very important role for plants. It is understandable! After all, the process of photosynthesis without it is simply not real. Features of lighting for aquarium plants are very individual. Some plants need a lot of light, some not so much. In general, all the sources agree on one thing that the light in the aquarium with plants should be burning for about 12 hours. But then a small problem arises - so much light is not very useful for the aquarium itself. Therefore, I recommend turning on the aquarium lighting for about 6 hours, which will be a kind of compromise. With such a day length, the plants in the aquarium will feel good. Verified! True, it is worth making a reservation that such a compromise is not very suitable for exotic, expensive and capricious plants. It will simply be a pity if the bristle is bent.

Care of aquarium plants

Actually care for aquarium plants is cutting and trimming plants, which should be carried out as needed (about once a month). Carrying out such an action is necessary: ​​clean rotten leaves, cut out a plant that has grown too large, and cut off the daughters, then plant them in a new place.
A little more about this you can read in this ARTICLE, there is clearly a video like "craftsmen are cutting the aquarium."
An invaluable service in the care of aquarium plants will provide snails. They are happy to devour rotting, bad leaves, thus saving you from unnecessary worries.

Within this section, I will make a reservation about the CO2 system. Such a system favorably affects the growth and appearance of plants. Its meaning is to supply carbon dioxide to the aquarium, which in turn is very fond of plants. Such systems are branded and artisanal. Read in detail about the CO2 system and see the video how to make such a unit “according to the principle of the mash” with your own hands HERE.

How many plants do you need in an aquarium?

In this matter, it is not possible to overdo it. I do not think that someone will plant the aquarium with plants "for the most I can not." However, there is a certain qualification of the number of plants in the aquarium. They should be placed in such a way that 2/3 of free space remains for fish and other inhabitants. In addition, you need to proceed from the number of fish. The more of them, the more you can plant plants. Or in other words, the more CO2 is produced, the more plants can be planted and the more oxygen will be from them.

Types and list of aquarium plants for beginners

Like the fish, there is also a huge number of aquarium plants. In order not to flood in this article, I will give a link to the list of all aquarium plants, here it is - LISTbesides you can scroll through the section of our site AQUARIUM PLANTS In the preview, which is laid out for the convenience of photographs of plants, which will give you the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the plant and choose the right one without poking into all the articles.
In general, all plants can be divided into:
- plants that float on the surface of the water;
- plants that are mounted in the ground;
- and plants that no matter where they are;
When choosing plants you need to take into account these factors. So that it does not happen that some plants do not allow others to live.

Unpretentious aquarium plants

In fact, there are a lot of such unpretentious plants and, in fact, you can make an endless list, because if you give any plant a minimum of care, it will survive in any aquarium.
Nevertheless, we can recommend the following aquarium plants for beginners:
Duckweed
I already spoke about it. It will be a great addition to the aquarium. All aquarian inhabitants love it, it creates a very beautiful look. The only disadvantage of it, like all floating plants, is that it very quickly closes the water cover, preventing the light from passing into the aquarium. It should be thinned more often, and especially before the release, leaving only a few leaves on the surface.
Vallisneria

In fact, not whimsical fast-growing up, inexpensive plant.
Elodea

Plain and classic, thin, fast-growing up.
Hornpaw
Elk-like plant. Growing fast. A huge number of small leaves, is an excellent protection for all the small inhabitants of the aquarium.
Limnobium

Floating plant on the type of leaves of lake lilies of small size. It takes long roots. It grows very quickly. Limnobium, especially its roots, adore eating fish and shrimps.
Riccia

Remarkable fast-growing, floating, bright plant. Gaining weight with growth, it can sink to the bottom and cover entire spaces. It can be tied with a fishing line to a snag, to a pebble, creating a wonderful green island. In addition, it is very fond of, there are aquarium inhabitants.
Moss javanese

Very beautiful plant. The truth is not growing very fast and more demanding of light. She can easily wrap a snag or something else.
Diseases of aquarium plants Plants, like fish - can hurt. Like all living things, plants die because of improper or poor content. But I assure you that if you follow these recommendations, the aquarium plants will never hurt you.
Without making demagoguery. Here are the signs of the disease, the causes and treatment of aquarium plants.
PLANT LOOKS NUMBERS: leaves are stunted, thin, the plant stretches upwards, pale, sheds young leaves! All these are true signs of lack of coverage.
TREATMENT:
- increase the light day for plants;
- if you thin a lot of plants, so that some do not interfere with each other;
- reduce the water temperature. The higher the temperature of the aquarium water, the more light the plants need.
LEAVES OF PLANTS COVERED BY HOLES: edges are uneven, twisting of a plant, a pale pozhamkany look, etc. These are signs of a lack of top dressing and fertilizer.
TREATMENT:
- fertilization under the roots of plants (above-mentioned tablets).
- make sure that the soil does not crush or deform the roots of the plants.
PREMATURE LEADINGS WILL FALL: yellowing of the edges of the leaves, slow growth. These are signs of a lack of CO2 - carbon dioxide.
TREATMENT:
- lower the temperature. At low temperatures, the CO2 content in the aquarium increases.
- Get more fish.
- as an option, turn off aeration for the night, but it will not quite well affect the fish.
- Build a CO2 installation with your own hands.

And finally, a few words about artificial aquarium plants. Once they are sold, once I buy them, it means they have a place to be in our reservoirs. No trouble with them at all - I buried a plastic bush and admire! The benefits of such plants are zero, moreover, they grow well harmful algae. And over time, plastic breaks down and becomes brittle! They cost more than living plants.Nevertheless, such plastic aquarium plants, as an element of decor, look very much even in a pond.
