Submerged Plants for the Aquarium 
Miriophyllum Spatterdock Cabomba Vallisneria Ludwigia 
The health of the fish in the aquarium depends 
on the plant life therein to a large extent. A healthy 
plant growth will produce strong and vigorous fish. 
Vallisneria, Sagittari and Anacharis are the best 
oxygen producing plants and 50% of plants used in 
an aquarium should be these strong oxygen producers 
the balance may be the less oxygen producing and 
more ornamental plants, such as Spatterdock, Cab¬ 
omba, Ludwigia, etc.
