Silk aquarium plants look pretty natural compared to years ago. This kind of landscaping uses a combination of silk ones and live plants. In these aquariums the focus is on beauty and a stagnant underwater garden.

You probably won’t want to buy aggressive fish for pets. They can’t be too large either. Some little pets like to nibble on a plant sometimes. I say let them have their snack. If it was a pet dog, you’d want him to have an occasional doggie treat.

There are hundreds of aquarium plants grown by the wonderful Asian and Africa farmers who are happy to have a market for their product. I think a novice aquarist should start with simple to care for plants. The simple ones are Vallisneria, fern Veratopteris and some like Riccia which floats on the top of the water (or you could plant them with a Riccia mesh). I especially like those as they’re very attractive.

Limit your choices for one tank to ten. Look for these features in healthy plants:

1. White or yellow root system

2. Elasticity.

4. The plant has no slime or obvious decay.

5. There should be no bent stalk due to weakened state.

If you want a few of the silk plants, be sure to ascertain that they have no colors that will leach a harmful substance into the water. This could be harmful to your little pets and your live plants as well. As one aquarist friend of mine phrases it this way. ”When adding plants to your aquarium, go live to keep your fish alive.”
