Growing our own plants

Join us on facebook : @tropicalfishcafe

This has been the most difficult task for me not being a gardener,trying to find tough decorative plants that will tolerate the weather conditions and do not mind living in water has take some time.

I used the tanks that are planned for the decorative mature goldfish as my test area. The main challenge was was to keep in mind the health of the water and fish at all times.

The style of planting then would be translated to the whole of the site, i am now at the stage where i have a good stock of plants that can be used as nursery plants for taking cuttings etc.

Some will go into the ground and pots, but can also go directory, into water baskets. They have made a big difference to the increased water quality.
