aquarium plant

Tank vegetation decoration

An aquarium plant is a plant suited to growing submerged or partially submerged in an aquarium.

These plants serve both decorative and functional purposes—oxygenating water, absorbing waste, and providing shelter for fish.

Common varieties include java fern, anubias, and Amazon sword.

The aquarium plants finally filled in after a few months.
