_ @ PLANTS AND HOW TO HANDLE ON ARRIVAL © 
- in planting an aquexium, 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. We offer many decorative plants to be used as center plants. The type used 
depends cn the size of the aquerium and the personal desires of the individual. 
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, Water Hyacinths, Water Lettuce, Floating Water Fern, etc. 
should be allowed to float even though they have rootse Do not plant them: 
LIGHT 
Lack of sunlight is one of the greatest causes of plant spoilage. With few exceptions, 
Aquarium Plants require from 3 to 5 hours of sunlight each day or the equivalent in gstronz 
electric light in which the light bulb is placed directly over the surface of the aquarium 
water. Plants kept without some sunlight or direct artificial light usually deteriorate. 
Sunshine is also necessary for the good health of fish.e 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 stomachse &

from the shipping can. Strain the remainder of the water from the can into the aquarium. 
If the water is sour or polluted, do not use it$ Float the small jars(containing the 
fish) in your aquarium until the temperature in the jars and the aquarium is the same. 
Then release the fish. In a newly set up aquarium, it is wise to add a teaspoonful of 
salt for every 5 Gallons of water. Dissolve the salt in a separate container before 
adding to aquariume This small amount will not harm Plants or Snails and will act as 
a tonic for fishe
