Planted freshwater

Planted freshwater

The classic aquascape: wood and stone under a canopy of stems, with a school of small fish moving through it. Forgiving to run and endlessly adjustable.

Water: 24–26°C · pH 6.4–7.2 · medium to high light

The rules

  1. 01

    Plant heavily from day one so the plants outcompete algae.

  2. 02

    Keep one school of ten rather than five species of two.

  3. 03

    Trim stems little and often; replant the tops.

  4. 04

    Change 30% of the water every week.
