12 Tropical Aquarium Plants To Use From the Cuttings and Floating Types

Recommendations are given for a selection of tropical aquarium plants from the cuttings and floating plant types available. 12 are recommended with four described in detail.

A cutting, the Red Rotala (Rotala macandra) has soft delicate leaves that could easily be damaged if they are situated in strong water currents. In order to maintain the red color this plant needs bright light on a regular basis.

A temperature range of 22 to 28 degrees centigrade and pH range of 5 to 6.5 is suitable. Fast growing, the Rotala likes to go up to the surface and then goes on to grow with leaves floating at the surface. The leaves appear to get bigger and redder the nearer they get to the light.

A cutting, the Giant Hygrophila (Nomaphila stricta) is also known as the Indian Water Star. It has broad lance shaped leaves, is great for fish to shelter in and is also useful as sites for spawning. Prefers slightly hard water and a strong light.

It appears that snails like this plant so look out for them. A temperature range of 20 to 28 degrees centigrade and pH range of 5 to 7 is suitable. Another plant that grows fast and will need trimming regularly.

A floater, the Butterfy Fern (Salvinia auriculata) is also known as the Eared Watermoss and is really easy to keep and grow. Bubble nesters can use the plant for their nest and fry can shelter and hide underneath in the roots that dangle down in the water.

But remember that, as with all floating plants, do not let them cover too much surface area as this will restrict light getting to plants lower down the tank and they will die off.

It is related to the Salvinia molesta which out in the wild can grow like mad and cause lots of problems in waterways as it doubles its size over a few days. In fact they are prohibited entry into Tasmania and can not be sold or distributed there as they have been declared weeds under a Weed Management Act (1999).

A floater, the Java Moss (Vesicularia dubyana) is very common in freshwater aquariums. Like Riccia, it attaches itself to driftwood, rocks and roots. Java Moss has no onerous requirements or any special attention as it will survive in varying water conditions, even weakly brackish, and under all sorts of light levels.

But it thrives better under low to moderate light conditions and a temperature range of 21 to 24 degrees centigrade but it can survive temperatures of up to 29 to 32 degrees centigrade.

As you do not plant the Java Moss, you will need to fix it temporarily, for example, to a rock with some fishing line. Then, when it has used its own tiny roots to adhere to the rock you can remove the fishing line. You can also produce a moss wall effect by adding the moss to a net which is fixed to the tank wall by suction devices and nylon string.

It is an excellent plant in which spawning can take place and in which the hatched fry can shelter and hide. Egg laying fish that scatter their eggs would benefit most from this plant. From a maintenance point of view you need to keep it clean of algae which will have a detrimental affect on it.

Other recommended cuttings plants are;
* Cabomba caroliniana
* Bacopa caroliniana
* Hygrophila salicifolia
* Ludwiga repens

Other recommended floating plants are;
* Ceratophyllum spp.
* Ceratopteris thalictroides
* Pistia stratiatos
* Riccia fluitans

Floaters
These are the most common choice for aquariums due to its style and displayed elegance. They mostly thrive at the surface of the aquarium with its roots rising on the water surface that's why they are commonly termed as "floaters". Some good examples of floaters are Fairy Moss and An Driccia.

Rhizomes
These types of aquatic plants are usually thick stemmed kind that stretched out inside the fish tank horizontally with its leaves sprouting evenly at the stem. They are like other normal plants that grow on land that they tend to grow fast in its stem side wards mostly occupying over the substrates that is why a lot of aquarists started growing them on driftwoods. The Anubias and the African Fern are the most commonly used rhizomes for freshwater aquarium.

Rosettes
Rosettes are characterized to be like crown looking plants with roots deeply grown underneath them. They are more of ornamental in nature for most of the fresh water aquarium plants because of a shortened stem axis that tends to spread over its leaves beautifully. Rosettes need to be maintained more because of its unique features and some examples of this type are Amazon Sword and Sagittaria.

Stems

It is better to keep this in minimal quantity, watching its growth closely to maintain the normal balance of the whole aquarium itself.

Cryptocoryne Becketti is typically classified as an amphibious plant meaning it can grow well in land and also in water area.
