Aquatic Plants
We are happy to offer the largest selection of aquatic plants in the Bay Area. Make sure you come in and see them for yourself.
Why We Love Aquatic Plants
We've found that including live plants in your aquarium has so many benefits. It can establish the eco-system of your tank more completely and with much more room for error. Large amounts of rapidly growing plants process excess fish waste and provide an oxygen-rich, natural environment for your fish to thrive.
Also live plants add a whole dimension to the hobby that you don't get with just fish. You can create amazing, living underwater landscapes that can be an avenue of creative expression and a source of pride. Imagine combining all the best parts of pet ownership, gardening and bonsai in a single activity.
If you imagine your aquarium as a canvas, we've got so many wonderful colors, shapes and textures for you to create stunning underwater aquascapes where your fish will thrive.
Featured Plants
Rotala Vietnam
Beautiful, fast growing stem plant with needle like leaves and a red stem. Does best with at least medium light and CO2 supplementation.
Glossostigma elatinoides
A wonderful foreground plant with cute round leaves. With proper CO2 supplementation, it can be grown out in a lush "carpet" or "lawn" in your tank.
Myriophyllum matogrossense
A delightful stem plant that is easy to grow and tolerates lower light conditions. It distinguishes itself from similar looking stem plants by its leaf definition and bright green color.
