AQUATIC PLANTS 
All you need for equipment is a rectangular glass aquarium 
of capacity from 2 to 20 gallons, sufficient aquarium gravel or 
well washed sand to cover the bottom of the aquarium to a depth 
of two inches. 
Plants are the most important of the aquarium equipment. 
They keep the water in good condition because they release 
oxygen, and, on the other hand, take up the carbon dioxide 
given off by the fishes. Plants also serve as a natural refuge 
for the inhabitants from too much light. They are the first 
essential of an attractive and well-balanced aquarium, for their 
utility as well as their educational value. It is because of the 
plants that you do not have to change water in an aquarium. 
We have listed only those. plants which we know from 
experience are the best for the purpose. Piants shipped are 
divided into two classes: those with roots and crowns which 
must be rooted in sand, and others which are shipped as 
bunched plants. These can be separated and the stems anchored 
in the sand and readily take root. At times immediately after 
planting the water may assume a cloudy appearance, but as 
the plants grow this coloration will disappear. 
By a balanced aquarium is meant a tank in which the air 
surface of the water supplemented by plants will supply suffi- 
cient oxygen for the needs of the fish to be maintained therein. 
Also a well balanced aquarium, the plants and scavengers will 
consume most of the refuse from the fish, making the changing 
of the water in the tank unnecessary, although enough fresh 
water should be added from time to time to compensate for 
evaporation.
