oxygenating plants

Oxygenating plants live underwater. During the day, they produce oxygen and consume the nitrates and phosphates that feed algae. They are the most useful plants in a fish pond.

How to plant them?

  • Allow about three bunches per square meter of submerged area.
  • Weigh down the bunches or plant them in a basket at a depth of between 30 and 80 cm.
  • Avoid placing them directly in front of the pump's intake.

Note: At night, plants consume oxygen. In a heavily stocked pond, an air pump remains the best safeguard in summer.

Frequently asked questions

Which oxygenating plant to choose?

Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) floats between two waters without roots and grows quickly; hornwort and water pepper root themselves and are suitable for natural ponds.

Why do my oxygenating plants disappear?

Most often, the fish eat them or the water lacks light. Protect them in a basket and leave them in a sunny area.
