Live Filter Plant for Aquariums: Pothos Plant - Removes Nitrates
$10
$10 for a 3-4 leaf vine of Pothos with roots already grown in individual water only cups. This ensures that the roots are clear from any fertilisers etc and ready for your aquarium.
Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is difficult to kill and will survive even in very low light, nearly dark conditions. You often see pothos used not only in aquariums, but also in hydroponic systems and bioactive terrariums. Pothos grows very quickly, especially in aquariums with heavy bioloads and lots of waste.For faster growth, we prefer to use a little plantlet that already has some established roots
Eventually, the pothos will grow into a long vine, which you can guide to climb up the wall or along some shelving. Its long, stringy roots will create a beautiful jungle for your fish to swim in and out of, and you can always trim them if they get too dense. Plus, you can easily cut off a stem or leaf and propagate it into other tanks in the future. With its amazing ability to keep nitrate levels and algae growth down, pothos might be the best filtration you can buy for less than $10!
Pothos plants are also good air purifiers, because they can remove harmful chemicals from indoor air.
-------Benefits----
- Removes Nitrates
Nitrate is the end product of the nitrogen cycle, which happens in every healthy aquarium ecosystem.
Nitrates can be removed with partial water changes. Nitrates can also be removed with aquarium plants. Aquarium plants will absorb nitrates and other nutrients from the water through their leaves and roots in order to grow.
Pothos plans are also capable of removing nitrates from the water column. The difference between pothos and aquatic plants is the rate of absorbing the nitrates.
Because the leaves of the pothos plants grow above water, and only its roots are in the water, it can grow at a much faster phase, being able to remove much more nutrients from the aquarium water.
- Combat Algae
Because pothos plants are so efficient in removing nitrates and other nutrients from the water, they will greatly reduce the algae growth.
Over a longer period of time, pothos plants can completely eliminate algae from your fish tank.
- Provides Cover
Pothos plant has a fast growing rate. First, it will grow its roots and once they are established, will start growing its leaves as well.
Pothos plant can grow a very strong and thick root system, which is an ideal cover for fish and shrimp as well fry.
- Looks Awesome
It gives a more natural look to any aquarium.If the light conditions are good, you can even run the pothos plant on the wall. Just attach a transparent fishing line to the ceiling and let the plant do its job. In a few months, you will have a jungle corner above your fish tank.
- Omnivore Fish Proof
There are many omnivore fish, which will eat anything you put in their tank. African cichlids for example, will eat most of the aquatic plants.
On top of that, African cichlids produce a lot of waste and therefore nitrates level will rise quickly. The same is true for goldfish.
For these types of aquariums, pothos is the best choice. Because pothos grows very strong roots, the fish won’t bother eating the roots, so the plant can develop very well.
It will help removing lots of nitrates and will make your fish tank look awesome.
