PLANTS AND HOW TO HANDLE ON ARRIVAL

In planting an aquarium, tevi tents are usually placed in the background 
with the shorter plants in front, Vallisnerias as well as some types of 
Sagittarias are usually used in the background, We offer many decorative 
plants to be used as center.plants, The type used depends on the size of 
the aquarium, 
Bunched plants consist of several sprigs tied together with a piece of 
lead. Remove the lead and push each sprig into the sand where it will 
root. Plants sold as cuttings also root when pushed into the aquarium 
sande 
PLOATING PLANTS such as Salvinia, Floating Valentines, Water Hyacinths, 
Water Lettuce, Floating Water Fern, etc,, should be allowed to float 
even thongeh they have roots. They should not be planted!

Lack of sunlight is one of the greatest causes of plant spoilage. With 
a few exceptions, Aquarium Plants require from 3 to 5 hours of sunlight 
per day, or the equivalent in strong electric light in which the light 
bulb is placed directly over the surface of the aquarium water. Plants 
kept without some direct sunlight or artificial light usually deteriorate. 
Sunshine is also necessary for the good health of fish. Some varieties 
contract the disease known as "Rickets" because of the lack of sunlight. 
Fish with this disease look caved-in and seem to have hollow stomachs.
