FRESHWATER PLANTS

 

Freshwater plants are important in any healthy aquatic ecosystem. Freshwater plants help filter the water regulating some harmful chemicals. They are also a key food source for many aquatic organisms which feed on them. Their leaves also capture small bits of organic matter which are dragged by the water current. This organic matter or Perifitum sticks to their leaves and stems and is afterwards consumed by freshwater shrimp, fish from cichlids to plecos, and their fry.


Aquatic plants also provide shelter to smaller fish. Aquatic predators use them as a hideout to avoid being seen before they strike. Freshwater plants also regulate the water temperature to a certain extent, blocking some of the sunlight (shading) from heating the aquatic substrate and prevent evaporation.

One of the most important functions that aquatic organisms get out of the aquatic plants is using them as a substrate to place their eggs.


The freshwater plants also add beauty to the freshwater wild habitats and are a primary enhancement accessory in the aquarium hobby adding esthetic beauty and a natural equilibrium to the aquarium.
