The skills of making scenery and planting aquatic plants in fish tank

My family bought a big fish tank and some tropical fish. When you are upset, standing in front of the fish tank and watching the fish swim leisurely, the mood will become relaxed and comfortable. However, I feel more and more that something is missing, right! It's aquatic plants. There are no aquatic plants in the fish tank, so it's a little less interesting. So, I went to the flower fish market to buy some water hyacinth and put it in the fish tank, which really made the monotonous fish tank a little more poetic.

One day, a colleague came to my house, looked at the fish tank and said: "you are really good, such a high-end fish tank, such an advanced tropical fish, how to match these water hyacinth ah."

"what shall we do? Do I have to go to Haidi to fish for weeds? "

Water hyacinth grows too fast to be planted in a fish tank for a long time. Besides, this thing is flat on the surface of the water, affecting the viewing of fish, so you'd better grow some water plants. " My colleague seemed to know a lot about growing aquatic plants in the fish tank, so I asked him to help me arrange it.

He said he was going to buy raw materials. Let me first fish the fish in the fish tank into a porcelain basin and clean the fish tank. Oh, colleagues buy a lot of materials, in addition to some high and low water plants, there are also some granular sand. He put the sand under the pipe and washed it many times until it was pure and white. Then start tidying up the aquatic plants, pick off the yellow leaves, soak them in 0.1% potassium permanganate water for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water. The preparatory work is ready, and my colleagues finally begin to "work" formally.

When I carefully observed my colleague's every move, I saw that he first spread the sand at the bottom of the fish tank, creating a certain inclination, saying that it was easy to change water. Then he dug a small hole in the sand with his fingers, put the roots of the aquatic plants into the small pit, straightened out, scattered and buried all the roots of the aquatic plants. He first planted the long and tall aquatic plants in the back of the fish tank, the wide and high leaves in the middle of the fish tank, and the short aquatic plants in the front of the fish tank. While he was doing it, he explained to me why water plants should not be planted too much, but there must be layers, otherwise they would not grow well and would have an impact on fish.
