The role of aquatic plants

The biggest function of aquatic plants is to provide oxygen, which is a fact known to many people. When raising fish, putting some aquatic plants in the fish tank will play a great role in the healthy growth of the fish. Moreover, aquatic plants can consume waste excreted by fish. When there is organic matter produced by fish metabolism in the fish tank, the aquatic plants will absorb it. Otherwise, algae will grow excessively.

In our country, scientists' research has shown that many pollutants and harmful substances can be absorbed by aquatic plants, including carbonic acid and laundry detergent. If you extract fast-growing bacteria from a highly polluted river and put them into a water tank, you will find that the objects they carry with them are greatly reduced.

Bacteria perform a very important but invisible task in the aquarium. They continuously break down and reconstitute certain compounds, which, without these bacteria, may pose a threat to the aquarium or fish. Therefore, they need a lot of space to move around, whether it is on the bottom bed, in the filter, or even on the aquatic plants, which is another important function of aquatic plants. Therefore, in the initial stage of setting up the aquarium, we need to plant dense aquatic plants in the aquarium so that many useless fungi can be decomposed by the aquatic plants. In fact, this still depends on the nitrifying bacteria attached to the surface of the aquatic plants to achieve. You must not forget, of course, the fact emphasized by experienced aquarium enthusiasts that densely planted, well-grown aquatic plants in an aquarium are the best way to prevent algae from spreading, because aquatic plants have a significant advantage in competing with algae for nutrients. Of course, the prerequisite for water plants to be stronger than algae is that they must grow and reproduce in a strong and healthy manner in the aquarium.

Aquatic plants have powerful functions. Planting more aquatic plants near polluted rivers can effectively reduce the degree of pollution. In addition, fish farmers must pay attention to putting aquatic plants in the fish tank so as to better provide oxygen to the fish and ensure their normal breathing. Aquatic plants are really a good thing in nature, and we should make good use of them.
