We will see in this article, the 5 plants that are the easiest to integrate into an aquarium. These are plants that have no special requirements, plants that will be satisfied with neutral soil such as Loire sand and that do not need any addition of fertilizers , fertilizers or CO2 but just low light for fun.

1- Hymenophyllum

There are several variations of these and they are, in most cases, fast-growing background plants. It is very appreciated to fight against algae. It is also very easy to take cuttings, but it will still be necessary to monitor its proliferation because it can quickly become invasive.

2 - Floating plants

There are a large number of species such as duckweed, Salvini, Azula guns and many more. These are plants that are appreciated in aquariums for their rapid growth which competes well with algae or because they cover the surface of the water, which allows the light to be filtered and give a nice effect to the aquarium. However, you will have to be careful because these are plants that can very quickly invade the surface of the container, thus preventing light from reaching other plants.

It will also be necessary to take into account some criteria so that these plants are liked. There will have to be little current because they risk disappearing if there is too much since they cannot live in tanks with a strong current and some of them do not like bins closed. So it is an important criterion to take into account.

3 - Densa

It is a fast growing plant that we can find in the pond. We can put it almost anywhere in the aquarium: we can leave it as a floating plant on the surface, or hang it or wedge it under a decoration. It can also be buried like most other plants. In any case, it will be able to enjoy itself, but you will have to be careful because it can develop long roots that will bury themselves in the ground. As a result, it can be quite unsightly for some.

4 - Zenobia

They are epiphytic plants, which must be attached to a decoration such as a root or a stone. If you still want to plant it, be sure to cover only the roots and leave the rhizome above your soil . Because if you bury it, it risks rotting and the plant dying. These plants are very popular in aquariums and there are a very large number of species with different sizes, shapes and colors. So there is something for everyone. Zenobia are also very popular in goldfish or cichlid tanks, as they are very resistant thanks to their large leaves which are quite hard, which therefore prevents fish from eating them.

5 - The Cryptocoryne

Cryptocoryne are mid-plant or fore-plant plants depending on the species chosen and the size of your aquarium. As for the Anubia, there are a large number of species with very varied colors and sizes. They are slow growing plants but over time they could develop well and make new shoots.
