Which live aquarium plants are best for beginners?

Java Fern, Anubias barteri and Elodea densa are the easiest. All three tolerate low light, need no CO₂, and can be tied to wood or rock rather than planted into substrate.

Are live plants safe for goldfish and coldwater tanks?

Yes. Elodea densa, hornwort and Java Fern all grow in unheated tanks from about 15°C. Goldfish graze soft-leaved stems, so Anubias and Java Fern last longer in a goldfish tank.

What lighting do aquarium plants need?

Most need moderate lighting for 6–8 hours a day. Low-light plants such as Anubias barteri and Java Fern manage on less; high-light stems need a stronger LED unit to stay compact.

What substrate is best for planted aquariums?

Nutrient-rich aquasoil or a planted-tank substrate. Root feeders such as Echinodorus bleheri do best with root tabs pushed in near the roots; Java Fern and Anubias need no substrate at all.

Why are my aquarium plants turning yellow or melting?

Usually the change of water conditions after transit, or a nutrient gap. Trim off melted leaves, keep lighting steady at 6–8 hours and new growth normally follows within two to three weeks.

Do not buy

Have bought these plants twice but neither batch has survived even a week. Upon arrival, most stems were unusable and had no roots on them - the leaves were already grey and coming off. The stems that did have roots on still had man6 red leaves and were usable. However, after two days in the tank, the stems have turned to mush and the leaves are grey. Have removed it. Out of about 10 stems receiv3d in this second batch, I have 3 left that are still alive. Won’t be buying this again.

gloriously pink on arrival, but no sign of any roots on these cuttings leaves died away and unlike other plants this did not mean it was putting down root - just died
