 Bolbitis heudelotii, one of hundreds of aquatic plants found in the Aquarium hobby. |
"Aquatic plants are used to give the aquarium a natural appearance, oxygenate the water, and provide habitat for fish, especially fry (babies) and for invertebrate species. Some aquarium fish and
invertebrates also eat live plants.
Recently, there has been a movement in the hobby to use aquatic plants as part of aesthetic aquarium design and aquascaping, spearheaded by Japanese aquarist Takashi Amano. Most of these plant species are found either partially or fully submersed in their natural habitat.
Although there are a handful of obligate aquatic plants that must be grown in water (Cabomba sp., for example), most grow and thrive fully emersed if the soil is kept moist.
