PLANTS UNSUITABLE FOR USE IN AQUARIA


This is only a short listing of plants we consider unsuitable for planted aquaria. Yet, they are usually imported for the aquarium trade. While these plants may look very "pretty", and cost very little, they will usually survive only a short time. Remember: If it looks like  a houseplant, it probably is. Plants such as those listed below are put to far better use in decorating your terrarium. However, also realize that this list is based on my opinion, and your experiences with these plants may be different than my own.
