A planted aquarium is simply a fish tank that uses real live aquatic plants instead of plastic decorations. The plants not only look beautiful — they also clean the water, produce oxygen for your fish, and create a natural, stress-free environment for your aquatic pets.
WHY CHOOSE A PLANTED AQUARIUM?
✅ Plants absorb harmful waste like ammonia and nitrates
✅ They produce oxygen for your fish naturally
✅ They control algae by competing for nutrients
✅ They provide natural shelter and hiding spots
✅ They make your aquarium look stunning and natural
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO START?
1. A fish tank (any size — even 10 litres!)
2. Aquarium substrate (sand or gravel)
3. A basic aquarium light
4. Easy aquatic plants
5. Water conditioner
6. Fish or shrimp (optional)
TIP: You can start a basic planted tank for as little as ₹500–₹1000 with a small tank, basic light, and a few starter plants.
