Aquarium Plants for Bangalore Tanks

Bangalore's mild climate, usually 15-30°C at around 900 m elevation, is good for planted aquariums: water stays at a comfortable temperature for both plants and fish. Live plants absorb waste, reduce algae and give fish cover.

Easy plants to start with

• Java moss: grows on wood and rocks, almost any light.
• Java fern and anubias: tie them to driftwood, do not bury the rhizome.
• Amazon sword: a large rooted plant for the back of the tank; needs root tabs.
• Duckweed and other floaters: shade the tank and absorb nitrates, but spread fast.

Light, CO2 and nutrients

Beginner plants grow with a basic LED light for 6-8 hours a day and no CO2. Fast-growing stem plants need stronger light and fertiliser. Too much light without plants to use it causes algae.

Plants and fish together

Most community fish leave plants alone. Goldfish and large cichlids such as oscars dig and eat plants; use tough species such as anubias with them. For bettas see best plants for betta fish.

FAQ

Do aquarium plants need a heater in Bangalore?
No for most plants; they grow well at 22-28°C. Tropical fish may still need a small heater on the coolest winter nights.

Why are my aquarium plants melting?
New plants often lose leaves while adjusting to your water. Remove dead leaves and give them 2-3 weeks.
