Benefits of Live Plants in an Aquarium:
They enhance water quality and help prevent algae growth by using nutrients produced by fish waste, uneaten food and organic debris.
They produce oxygen during daylight hours, which is used by fish and helps stabilize pH. Fish, in turn, release CO₂, which plants use as a food source.
Fish tend to feel safe which encourages them to stay out in the open and develop more vivid colors.
Plants encourage many types of fish to spawn and give newly-hatched fry a place to hide while they grow.
