PLANTS AND HOW TO HANDLE ON ARRIVAL 
Im planting am aquarium, tall plants are usually placed in the background with the shorter 
plamts im 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 en the size ef the aquarium and the personal desires of the individual, 
BUNCHED PLANTS consist of several sprigs tied together with a piece ef lead. Remove the 
Tead and push each sprig into the sand where it will reet. Plants sold as cuttings also 
roet when planted in the aquarium, 
FLOATING PLANTS such as Salvinia, Fleating Valentines, Water Hyacinths, Vater Lettuce, 
Fleating Water Fern, etc., should be allewed to fleat even though they have reots. 
They should not be planted

Aquarium Plamts require frem 5 te 5 hours ef sunlight each day, or the equivalent im strong 
electric light in which the light bulb is placed directly ever the surfaee ef the aquarium 
water. Plants kept without some sunlight or direct artificial light usually deteriorate. 
Sunshine is alse necessary for the goed health of fish. Some varieties contract the disease 
known as "Riekets" because ef the lack af sunlight. Fish with this disease leok caved-in 
and seem to have hellew stomachs, 
SUGGESTIONS FOR HANDLING FISH SHIPMENTS 
1, Give us your ADDRESS & TELEPHONE NUMBER and leave your TELEPHONE NUMBER with the 
Express Compamy 80 they can call you immediately on arrival of shipment, 
2. Before fish arrive, have a clean aquarium already set up with seasoned water ready fer 
them. Om arrival, remove the fish from can placing them in a small bowl er twe with 
water from the shipping cam. Strain the remainder of the water from the can into the 
aquarium. De not do this if the water is sour or pelluted, Then, fleat the small jars 
containing the fish im your aquarium until the temperature in the jars and the aquarium 
is the same, then release the fish. Im a newly set up aquarium it is wise to add a 
teaspoonful of salt for every 5 gallems of water. Dissolve the salt in a separate 
centainer before adding to aquarium. This small ameunt will mot harm Plants or Snails
