Anubias sp. ‘Petite’ is a mutation which appeared in cultivation at the Oriental aquarium plant nursery in Singapore. Stays less than 5 cm tall, has very small leaves and a rhizome of 5-10 cm or more from which the leaves will grow. Branches well and creates dense groups. Undemanding like the other Anubias and does not appreciate high light intensity either. It is most decorative when attached to stones or roots, and like other Anubias it should be attached with fishing line until it gains a hold. If planted in the bottom, do not cover the rhizome as this may cause the plant to rot and die. An ideal plant for miniature landscapes in small aquariums but will also attract attention in larger tanks.

Hygrophila pinnatifida originates from India. It obtains brown, patched leaves on the surface with a distinctive burgundy colour underneath. It forms multiple horizontal shoots if the top shoots are pinched. This will maintain compact and attractive growth. The horizontal side shoots easily attach to both wood and rocks. Growth is moderate, stems 15-40 cm tall and 10-20 cm wide, and the colour is attractive when planted in small groups with a plain background. Intense lighting ensures compact growth due to the plant's slow to medium growth rate.

This is another popular plant that appears in aquariums mainly due to its ease of care making this ideal for beginners. The rosette normally consists of approximately 30 leaves and they will vary in their depth of greenness. Any sign of the leaves turning yellow is an indication that the plant is lacking in iron so a supplement should be added to the tank. It is a beautiful addition to any aquarium but will need pruning to prevent it from blocking light to other plants. The roots are the main feeding source so plenty of supplements should be on hand in the substrate to keep this plant looking its best, having said that it is very easy to care for compared to more delicate species of plants and ideal for beginners. Another great reason for adding this plant to the aquarium is their ability to release oxygen into the water column, at times the oxygen bubbles can even be seen with the naked eyes floating up from the plant.

Aponogeton boivinianus is a large, strong plant which is only suitable for large aquariums. A bulb plant from Madagascar, whose bulb may be covered with the bottom layer, as long as the sprout tip is at the soil surface.

The oldest leaves are deep dark-green, while younger leaves are light-green and sometimes brownish until they are fully developed. Nutrition capsules enhances the growth considerably. In the wild, Aponogeton boivinianus is found in fast-flowing water, and it prefers some flow in the aquarium water. It needs a dormant period when the bulb loses all its leaves, after which the growth will start again.
