PLANTS AND HOY. TO HANDLE. ON ARRIVAL 
In planting an aquarium, tall plants 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. ‘Ye offer many decorative 
plants to be used as oenter 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 planted in the aquarium, 
FLOATING PLANTS such as Salvinia, Floating Valentines, Water. Hyacinths, 
Vater Lettuce, Floating Water Fern, etc., should be allowed to float even 
though 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 eleotric light in which the light 
bulb is placed directly over the surface of the aquarium water. © Plants, 
kept without some direct shiainia ea or artificial light usually deteriorate. ~~ 
Sunshine is also necessary for Sus 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.
