Common questions

Good questions. Clear answers.

A few things to know before you start growing—or place your next order.

Where do the plants come from?

Products on this site are offered by AquariumFish.com through its Shopify store. Current product options, availability, and prices are provided by Shopify.

Can I keep plants without injected CO₂?

Yes, some lower-demand plants are suitable for aquariums without injected CO₂. Java fern and anubias are useful starting points. Choose lighting and a routine that fit that approach rather than expecting the same growth as a high-demand injected layout.

Can I plant everything in gravel?

No. Rooted rosettes and many stems are planted in substrate, but anubias and Java fern should have their rhizomes exposed. Mosses can be attached to hardscape, and floaters stay at the surface.

Why are some older leaves falling apart?

Plants can lose old leaves while adjusting to a new environment, but ongoing decay also deserves investigation. Check the planting method and the firmness of the crown or rhizome, remove decaying leaves, and look for healthy new growth.

Are the images the exact plants I will receive?

Product photographs come from the AquariumFish.com catalog and illustrate the listed plants. The large aquarium photographs are licensed inspiration images. Actual plant appearance, size, and form depend on the specific product and its current listing.

What about shipping, returns, and order problems?

AquariumFish.com handles checkout and fulfillment. Refer to the policies linked from its store and checkout for current shipping, refund, and order-support information. Shipping charges and eligibility depend on the order and address.

Are every plant and every destination eligible?

No. Plant restrictions and shipping eligibility vary. Confirm the exact species and destination requirements before ordering. Never release plants or fragments into natural waterways.

Why is a product missing or unavailable?

This site features selected aquatic plants from the connected catalog. Some products may sell out, be unpublished, or change over time. If live purchasing controls cannot load, use the product’s AquariumFish.com link to check current availability.
