Definitely this point has much weight “Assuming that you began with a tank with fish and fake flora, and the fakes are now removed. On the other hand, let’s look at the fish involved - it needs the presence of live aquarium plants as much as the other way round.”

I must quote your this statement “ssuming that you began with a tank with fish and fake flora, and the fakes are now removed. On the other hand, let’s look at the fish involved - it needs the presence of live aquarium plants as much as the other way round.”

I will definitely agree with your this statement “The first rule of adding live aquarium plants is to make sure that the existing fish are healthy in the tank. This will tell you some clues that the nitrate level is under control, likely with very frequent water change.”

Polina,

Thanks for the comment. I have rephrase the article and it should now make sense - this article is talking about upgrading the tank with plastic plant, to live aquarium plants. So when I was writing it earlier on, I was assuming that there are fish in the tank and they have been surviving for some time.

Hmmm… I’ve somehow always thought that when you have just bought your aquarium, you first need to buy and set all the tools, put in the sand and plants, then you pour water and leave it standing with water and plants for a couple of weeks before letting fish in:( And in your articles everything is absolutely vice-versa:))) Fish - first… am now confused a bit…

Oh I forgot to tell you that there are lots of great deals available online. Just do a search on Google and lots of them will appear. I like Java moss, easy to grow.

I am not experienced enough but sometime in the future will try a saltwater tank. Just want to say I only use live plants. The fish in their natural environment would not find any confusing plastic plants. If you like your pet fish, go live. I found some great plants that come from far away but are reasonably priced and always were healthy when I got them. My fish love to nibble once in awhile. They propagate too which saves you money if you grown new ones on your own. Toss out the plastic guys, give your fish a break.

Does anyone know about the correlation between using live plants and longevity in fish? If live plants are really healthier for fish does it help them to live longer?

Ya definitely. But having a saltwater planted tank is a whole different story - and plant will not be the major factor for your water parameters in the salted water tank.
