Before you bring a new plant into the fish tank , rinse them thoroughly in warm
Tropical Fish Aquarium Composition of Water
Each molecule of water is composed of one atom of oxygen to every two atoms of hydrogen. This is expressed chemically as H2O. Fishes use oxygen, but they cannot use the oxygen that is chemically a part of water. But air, including oxygen, will dissolve in water - just as sugar or salt will - and it is this dissolved oxygen that fishes use. The major source of usable oxygen in an aquarium is the air above the water

There are a number of different filter types available, but the principle is basically the same in all except under gravel filters. Water from the aquarium is passed through the filter material an
