What Do My Plants Need??

from Aquariums and Fish Tanks by Father Fish · host Father Fish

This video explains how to build a healthy, natural aquarium using the simple and proven Father Fish method. The focus is on creating balance, instead of constantly fixing problems, and this takes time. A successful planted tank starts with good substrate that contains nutrients which will last for years. The problem with using aquarium fertilizers, as opposed to this substrate, is that the are not beneficial in the long run. They cause the wrong type of growth; leaves and fruit, for example, not roots. Bacteria, also, assists plants in growing. Using ferts, on your aquarium plants, block this process, while good substrate, Aqua Preta Supplement, assists. By prioritizing a nutrient rich substrate, aquarist can develop a resilient, low-maintenance aquarium that mirrors nature and supports healthier aquarium fish and plants over time. #aquarium #fishtank #fatherfish #plantedaquarium #plantedtank #fatherfishmethod #naturalaquarium #aquapreta #bacteria #nutrients #aquariumfertilizer #aquariumplants
