These 12 Easy House Plants Filter Your Aquarium! 

I used this method with money plant and monstera in my angel fish tank.

I got my first aquarium a year ago because I wanted that dirty fish water for my 200+ house plants! I'm now purging my terrestrial plants to get more aquariums, hehe.

Just found this video today. Good to know you saw it. @plantlifeproject changed the way I keep aquariums.

Awesome !

Thank you, I was searching for this comment!

There is no need to use soil, just take a cutting and grow it hydroponically...

Does it need bright light

@@lokeshgnanasekar just the aquarium light

Pothos are apparently very good at purifying the air?

That’s a great idea thank you

I did that with my betta. Have had him 7 years with no other equipment, just the pothos for filtration. Clean it only twice a year.

Thanks, you might have missed it last time you were over but I recently picked up some Mexican melipona bees and they've been flying around the room. Looks like we will have vanilla very soon.

@@KeepingFishSimple 🤣🤣 Let the Mexican Government know, I think they are now endangered, most of the Vanilla produced is now hand pollinated, I used to grow the Orchid as well but it never flowered, cool Orchid though it will just grow in leaf litter and climb just about anything, a cool novelty plant.

The darker green pothos you showed is called Golden Pothos because of the yellow variegation it gets

I am actually growing some avocados from the seed, I had that wild idea to keep it on my fish tank, and reading your comment, I will definitely give it a try.

@aigai83 That will be cool. I hope that it works out for you. 🙂 Did you start by having the bottom part of the seed in a glass of water for it to throw out roots? The reason I ask is because you want it to have only water roots so that it is a matter of just putting it straight in instead of having to transition the plant. 👍🏼🙂👍🏼❤️

I have one avocado, already planted in soil, it was growing a root for a month now and stem is growing slowly. I live in Atlantic Canada, so it isn't really ideally warm in the house. Still it is growing under a neon light, keeps it a bit warmer than rest of the house. I have a few seeds that are more recent, with tiny roots started to grow about a week ago, I guess I will wait for them to grow longer roots and will stem them into my 50 gallon community thank. I am planning to drill holes on a drift wood I found on a nearby beach (I boiled the wood branches) and attach the branch floating on top of the water. I will wait for my avocados to have longer roots first. I also recently planted green and purple basil seeds, dwarf tomato seeds, and parsley seeds, I might plant my basil seedlings the same way as well. I'm not sure about parsley or dwarf tomato, though. Thank you so much for asking.

@aigai83 You are welcome. That sounds interesting. I know that you can grow Mint in your Aquarium, which I have tried myself, and it does work. You can also grow an Avocado plant with developing water roots by growing it from seed, as you will see in this link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FCIBbSJiDMI.htmlsi=LnUqvgIXpWdoU63c

Succulents too? May I ask which type(s)? I have a ton of them in the garden of all sorts of varieties. I wouldn’t think they do well in an aquarium as they usually don’t like ‘wet feet’.

It's also great cover for smaller fish/fry.

Useful comment. Thanks. I’m UK too.

From the internet: “Although the sweet potato itself is not toxic to felines, the vines of the sweet potato plant contain the toxic principle LSD. Consuming a small portion of the sweet potato vine can cause a dermatitis-type reaction, causing the cat's skin, mouth or throat to blister and swell upon contact.” It also says potato can be fatal if ingested lol. Protect those cat babies.

I have many of the toxic houseplants and 10 cats. They don't mess with the plants at all. If yours do, there is a spray called bitter apple spray that'll deter the cats and dogs from messing with the plants and anything else you spray it on.

@@Minhuit *results may vary...one of my dogs LIKES that bitter spray stuff and goes after it more if you spray it on anything.

Awesome tip. Thank you!
