PLANTS ND HOW TO HANDLE ON ARRIVAL | 

In planting up an aquerium for Tropical Fish, it is best to use rooted plants, Tall 
piants aro usually placed in the background, short plants in tho foreground. 
vallisnorias are usually usod for background work, ss well as some typos of Sagite 
tariase There are many types of decorative plants listed horo, most of which are 
used as contor plants and tho type usod dopends on the sizo of tho aquarium, ~ 
Bunch plants usually como with a number of sprigs bunchod with a picce of lend 
arourid the bottom. These should bo pushed down into tho sand and allowed to root, 
which they will do oasily. Plants sold as cuttings will root the samc as bunch 
plants if pushod down into tho sand, 
As planting an aquerium is oncts own personal taste and viewpoint, woe cannot rce= 
commend any special way
