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 aquserium and the personal desires of the individual. 
BUNCHED PLANTS consist of several sprigs tied together with a piece of leade 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.

should be allowed to float even though they have rootse Dg not plant them$
