Aquarium Plants (CompanionHouse Books) Essential Guide to Choosing, Planting, Feeding, Propagating, and Growing Fish Tank Plants with Expert Advice on Water Quality, Lighting, Substrates, and More

I just purchased a new 75 gallon aquarium. For the first time, I wanted to have only live plants with my tropical fish. This book was a great reference, I took it to the shops and used it to make smarter purchases than I would have made without it. I did spend about $250 on plants, fertilizer, lighting, and special plant friendly substrate. My tank looks simply fabulous. And after four weeks, my plants are thriving. Using this book is the way to do it.

But not enough on actual plants and requirements. This is more a giant coverage of plants in general. Not to specific on a plant

Using this book on Aquarium Plants has been a great teaching tool for our students, to identify aquatic plants and understand the process of photosynthesis and respiration. Our program which is non-profit organization called Urban Awareness for Marine Conservation(UAMC). Give inner city youth the opportunity to study Marine and Environmental Science. We use aquariums to create and study different ecosystems. We teach Science,Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM). This four major factors are very important to maintain our ecosystem in the aquarium and outside the aquarium.

Well done and easy to read. Informative

Loved the book. Info is excellent.

For a beginner, it gives you enough information to get started with by covering topics like, why live plants are beneficial, how they help control byproducts of keeping tropical fish such as nitrates (product of decaying fish waste), why you should be using aquatic fertilizers for healthy aquatic plants, even a few design themes for arranging aquarium decorations and plants for a somewhat natural environment for the area your fish originated from. For myself, it was a good refresher after being away from the aquatic lifestyle for 15 years. Are there better books out there on the subject of aquatic plants? Yes, definitely. But not in the same price range. Do I regret buying this book? Nope. Not at all.

This is an excellent book not only for the high quality of printing and pictures but also for its content. Small enough to be succinct and take you to the point about planting your aquarium step by step, plant's specific info depending on the variety, lighting requirements, nutrition, etc.

Tiene buena información útil, la forma de presentar la información es dinámica, y creatividad. Pero siento que hace falta más fotografías para identificar todas las especies

Lots of information.

I was expecting a book of little value, but was amazed by the quality of photos, the text and insight. Much better than GOOGLE... all details in order of relevance and the detail so valuable. A good buy for any library. Peter Hiscock should be knighted
