Are slow growing plants right for your aquarium?

In this video I discuss how I use slow growing, low maintenance plants, in my low tech, natural style aquariums. Together with some of my long term experiences, and thoughts on how to make the most of these plants.

Set up in 1995, this low tech (Walstad inspired) aquarium has been in continuous operation ever since. It has only had a handful of water changes over its life, the substrate has never been cleaned or disturbed (no siphoning, gravel vacuuming etc) It runs entirely at natures pace, with no additives, no fertilisers, no CO2, no chemicals etc. Many of the plants in this aquarium were planted back in 1995, and continue to thrive until this day.

The only things that are added to this aquarium are fish food and water.

But most importantly enjoy your aquarium, don’t be a slave to it.
