I have several planted aquariums. When available, I sell easy to care for plants that provide shelter and a natural, healthy environment for fish etc. They help oxygenate the water and keep algae under control. Floating plants provide shade from bright lights that some plants and fish need. $5 baggy of Java Moss - great for shrimp $7 Java Fern attached to rock $7 Tall Vallisneria - 3 runners $8 Mix of floating plants: Water Lettuce, Frogbit, Salvinia All plants are free of tiny pest/ bladder snails and I check each portion carefully .
