Live Aquarium Plants
Aquatic plants are an essential component of any healthy aquarium or pond ecosystem. They provide oxygen, food, and shelter for fish and other aquatic creatures, and they help to maintain water quality by absorbing excess nutrients. Aquatic plants also add beauty and a natural aesthetic to any planted tank. There are a wide variety of aquatic plants to choose from, each with its own unique characteristics and requirements. Some popular types include floating plants, stem plants, and foreground plants. Some species can be planted in the substrate while others can float in the water. Certain aquatic plants can also help to reduce algae growth, making it easier to maintain a clean and clear tank. Choosing the right plants for your aquarium or pond can help to create a healthy and beautiful underwater environment for your fish and other aquatic creatures.
Aquatic plants are beautiful and easy to plant in aquariums. Planted aquariums have many benefits including removing Nitrite and Nitrate. All live aquarium plants for sale on Splashy Fish are submerged, grown, and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
FAQs:
Will live aquarium plans grow in gravel?
Yes, live aquarium plants can grow in aquarium substrate gravel, provided they receive sufficient aquarium light and nutrients. Choose compatible plant species, add root tabs or liquid fertilizer, ensure adequate lighting, plant roots in the gravel, and monitor water parameters for optimal growth.
Where to buy live aquarium plants?
When considering buying live aquarium plants, explore options like local pet stores, online retailers, or specialized aquarium shops, which offer a variety of submerged growth plants suited for aquarium conditions. Additionally, participating in aquarium forums, shows, or auctions may lead to discovering unique specimens. Before purchase, research each plant's requirements to ensure compatibility with your tank's setup, including lighting, water parameters, and substrate. Always ensure that the plants you purchase are grown submerged to facilitate an easier transition into your tank and promote better plant health and growth over time.
Are live aquarium plants hard to keep?
Maintaining live aquarium plants can vary in difficulty. Some species, like Java Fern or Anubias, are beginner-friendly, needing minimal care, and thriving in various conditions. Others, such as certain carpeting plants, require more attention. With research, proper lighting, water changes, and occasional fertilization, most plants can be cared for, even by beginners. Joining aquarium communities and seeking advice can be helpful in learning plant care techniques.

Very happy with the purchase of my Premium Red Koi Galaxy Male Betta. The fish is healthy and a beautiful addition to my tank. It coexists well with 6 ember tetras in my 10G tank.
The most amazing betta, arrived healthy, and instantly went looking for food when I put it in my tank. I only can have one betta, but if I wanted another, I would buy it from Splashy Fish!
These discus are so so wonderful! :) They come to the front of the tank, they're very happy and healthy. We bought them a little over a week ago and they are so great. Highly recommend! We also bought some betta fish for our sorority here and they are also great!
They are happy, very active a week later in two 10 gal dirted tanks @ 74 deg F. and doing well. They came wrapped in a wet paper towel in separate little plastic bags...I never saw shipping done this way before but it works well, and saves weight.
I ordered the 2 premium Bettas from Splashy fish recently and they are thriving. The owner was very cooperative with shipping my fishes at an opportune time after Hurricane Milton hit our area. Great experience...highly recommend Splashy Fish!

So i had the worker hunt me down a female hillstream which she did with no problem at all, I really appreciated it. The little one seems healthy, she wonders the quarentine tank for food which is a great sign, flashes a little but i know how picky some hillstreams are with water quality and bare bottoms. Overall the hillstream is healthy and the worker was super accommodating.
You do get what you pay for and my 2 Betta purchases from Splashy Fish can attest to that. Great experience and really awesome fish. Can't thank you enough.
The Splashy team was very friendly and knowledgeable. We have always been satisfied with the quality and health of fish purchased from Splashy.
I have been to Splashy Fish twice now. Their animals are well cared for and they have a nice selection of fresh water fish and some crayfish. I am not a Betta person but they seem to have a dazzling and beautiful selection of them. In addition I was told that they breed some of their stock which is great for hobby and the environment from which their fish originate. I met the owner today and got some good advice on setting up my tank after a move. I have purchased fish, plants, and decor from them. They are a friendly and helpful locally owned business. It is clear that they are much more committed to keeping their animals healthy than the big box pet stores. They will be my regular aquarium store from now on.
The White Cloud Minnows I purchased are eating well and growing fast. I enjoy watching them forage.
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They walked me through a ton of options for my tank. Amazing experience definitely headed back there.
Splashy Fish is one of the few aquarium-only shops around the beltway. They have a great selection of fish, plants, soil, test kits. Family enjoys talking to the knowledgeable staff about general aquarium maintenance
