Love plants? Why do not you try to give your fish pond some plants? It is nice seeing a miniature ecosystem in your own home or garden, and watching the creatures in the pond grow. No need to question how the existence of pond plants creates a beautiful look to the whole view of your fish pond.
Like what plants do to our world, pond plants do the same to fish ponds where they are grown. They are vital both to our life and our fish life. While the plants give oxygen and any other beneficial thing to us, they also absorb certain materials, filter the water, and become a shelter for all creatures in the pond. They do not only beautify your ponds, but also give many advantages.
You can choose the plants from two kinds available: the ones which are anchored, and the floating ones. Most people choose floating plants for the unique look they create. They can protect your fish by lessening the sun light enters the pond. Too much sun light will make the water hooter and it can cause danger to your fish.
If you also like floating plants, try Water Lilies, Duckweed, Water Hyacinth, Water Lilies, and Lotus. They are the most popular kinds of pond plants. For the last two kinds, Water Lilies, and Lotus, they are favored for their beautiful flowers which rise to the surface of the water.
To prevent algae, you can trust this task to pond plants. They will absorb the nutrients that will also absorbed by algae. It is even recommended by pond experts to cover two-thirds of the water surface with the plants since this way will not give any left space to the algae. The plants can also produce beneficial nutrients by changing the fish’s waste into harmless materials.
If you install fish pond with minimalist style, it will be good not to give too much plants. For classic style, it is OK to give some high plants since they will give more protection to your fish. Besides providing a space to your fish to hide from too much sun light, they also keep the water temperature.
