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. Vallis¬ 
neria, 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, Cabomba, Lud¬ 
wigia, etc.
